The Problem With Photographing Velvet Bow Ties....

.....Is that it never shows the true lustre of the velvet - something gets lost in translation. Here are my velvet bow ties, we use Holland & Sherry velvet - which is a lush, thick heavy pile velvet - but no matter how I photograph them they never reveal their true beauty. I would say that luxury velvet bow ties are 'camera shy', but no less beautiful than their silk brothers and sisters. They are as follows top to bottom:

1. 'Dallas' : Velvet ribbon (not Holland and Sherry)
2. 'Larissa': Black Holland and Sherry Velvet with navy piping.
3. 'Mayfair': A wider 70's style bow. Black Holland and Sherry Velvet
4. 'Roger M': An 80's style bow. Black Holland and Sherry Velvet
5. 'Dicky' - pre-formed to look like a tie your own bow tie. Black Holland And Sherry Velvet. 
6. 'Wilde' - Tie your own bow tie, half mogador satin silk, half black Holland & Sherry velvet. 
7. 'Ernest ' - Limited edition midnight blue velvet with contrasting black satin silk. Tie your own. 
8. Limited edition half black Holland & Sherry velvet, half orange satin silk. Tie your own. 

NB: Because of the weight of the pile, our velvet bows are pre-formed, which is unfortunate, but I have yet to find a technique to make a TYO bow tie using this kind of velvet.
