This label produces some of the most [cool patterns and prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) found on ties. Inspiration from art influences like art-deco and geodesic makes these pieces a must-have for art fans. Also, the [woodblock printing process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textile-excellence) adds an aesthetically quality difficult to find elsewhere. These rustic-looking pieces sport a raw, but chic style. Colorful and sometime eccentric, these [manly accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive) are adventurous because of the materials used -- wood, cotton and felt -- and the unique designs. Also, each tie has the imperfections of the hand-sewn seams, making each product one-of-a-kind. Samuel Wagner, the co-founder of Gentleman Arthur, declares, "I wanted to create a project that had the mental complexity of artwork while sharing the accessibility of popular culture." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Handcrafted Men's Accessories:** A trend of handmade, artisanal men's fashion accessories can disrupt the fast fashion industry by promoting sustainability and uniqueness. - **Influence From Art-deco and Geodesic:** Influencing design with art movements such as Art-Deco can disrupt traditional tie designs and open opportunities for other artistic influences in fashion. - **Natural and Sustainable Materials:** A trend of using natural and eco-friendly materials in fashion can disrupt traditional supply chains by encouraging the use of sustainable resources and promoting ethical production practices. ### Where This Applies - **Men's Fashion:** Incorporating unique and artistic designs in men's fashion accessories can disrupt the traditional, monotonous trends in the industry and attract a niche market of consumers seeking individuality and artistic expression. - **Handicraft and Artisanal Industries:** The trend of handmade and artisanal fashion accessories can disrupt traditional mass production industries by promoting ethical and sustainable practices and highlighting the value of traditional craftsmanship. - **Eco-friendly and Sustainable Fashion:** Using eco-friendly materials in fashion production can disrupt the traditional fashion industry's impact on the environment and promote sustainability as a key value for the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Art-Infused Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Charming Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove.md) - [Functional Rugged Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-brand-kestin.md) - [Tech Enthusiast Clothing Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech-enthusiast.md) - [Elegant Men's Formalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-victor1.md) - [Bespoke Textile-Focused Mittens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkdesigns.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md)
