About one year ago, I spotted a gentleman at my show wearing a handsome Hermes necktie. It was royal blue, and decorated with magic rabbits jumping out of top hats. Over each alternating top hat, sky blue rays radiated from a petite magic wand.

During the show, I complimented the man on his tie. “Appropriate for a magic show,” I mentioned with a wink. After the show was over, I was surprised when he walked up to me, undid the knot, and handed it to me as a gift. How lovely! I now wear it from time to time, when I want people to think I’m magical.

Have a look at this lovely tie in THE ABOVE PHOTO. (Click any image to enlarge for more detail)

I don’t own any other Hermes neckties, but have found several more that have rabbits as their motif. Here’s one with a tortoise and a hare:

Here’s an Hermes necktie with brown rabbits in a tight pattern. The tessellation reminds me of an M.C. Escher illustration:

I don’t particularly like this following bunny pattern. It looks like a fat rabbit who ate too many carrot cakes, and can’t pull himself out of the ground:

Incidentally, my favorite neckties are from the Japanese designer SEIGO. The shop is named after the owner, Seigo Katsuragawa. He has two retail stores in Manhattan, and offers the loveliest silk neckties at a very reasonable price (only $80 or so). The silk is 100% Japanese kimono silk, and each necktie is hand-numbered since only twelve of each limited pattern are produced. I have about a dozen SEIGO neckties. Highly recommended!
