100% Silk Ties - How Much You Know

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 by ellen

In the current market, no matter department stores, retail stores, or online necktie store, you will find that almost all neckties are tagged with “100% silk ties” but have a quite large range of prices. Here we assume that all tags are correct and the men’ ties are made of silk. Even with that, you could find the cheapest ties are lower than $10 each, most of ties are labeled around $30 - $70  each, some neckties are over $70 or even much more. They are all made of 100% silk but why the prices are so different? The essential reasons are explored in the following sections.

The biggest cost difference is based on what color dying technique the manufacture uses or what the requirement of the wholesale buyers. How are the silk tie colors coming from? There are two techniques of silk tie dying during the manufacture. One is yarn dyed and the other is printing. The first one, also named as colored woven, is a process that the yarns of silk are dyed before they are woven. It means that the color is dyed first and then the silk fabric is woven. Obviously, the printing means all the colors are printed on the woven silk fabric. That means that the necktie fabric is woven first and then the desired color is printed on the fabric. All the colors of yarn dyed silk ties are woven with the colored yarns with an expensive necktie equipment. However, the printing has no need for that machine so its cost is much less than the dyed yarn silk ties.

Mostly the expensive merchandise must have certain advantages over the cheaper one. The yarn dyed silk ties have brighter and more durable color than the printing neckties. The yarn dyed silk ties also have more vivid and real 3D feel pattern. However, the patterns of printing silk ties look plain and superficial.

Now we can judge which is which for all 100% silk ties based on the price. If under $10, usually it is the printing silk tie except a big sale. $30 - $70 is the normal price for the dyed yarn silk ties in the current market. The difference is mainly for the store brand, store location, silk tie brand itself. If over $70 or even hundred, definitely a luxury brand if you are the fan of a brand. How do you find high quality dyed yarn silk ties with a much cheaper price than traditional? Search online silk tie stores which are sourcing directly from necktie manufacturers. For example, http://www.tietosuccess.com provides over three hundreds silk tie designs which are all made of 100% dyed yarn silk. The best part is that all silk ties are only CAD $15 each with factory direct sourcing. Enjoy your online necktie shopping there!

Non-Leather handbags and Bags

Thursday, August 20th, 2009 by ellen

Handbag materials has a wide range including leather, PU, PVC, even some non-traditional materials, such as wood, metal, glass. We are talking about PU bags in the post of what is PU handbag?. Besides that, there is another non-leather handbag material class - fabric. Those fabric can include Nylon, canvas, silk, cotton, and more. Here we take Nylon, canvas, and cotton as examples to introduce non-leather handbag materials.

Nylon is a synthetic fabric that is durable and lightweight. If nylon handbags are introduced, we couldn’t help mentioning how Prada introduced the nylon bag into the fashion world. During the whole process, Patrizio Bertelli, husband of Miucia Prada, did a fantastic job to make nylon bags accepted into the fashion industry. Prada officially launched nylon handbags in 1985 and wined their accomplishments. However, Prada backpacks and handbags had been already come out since 1979. They were not popular during that time. Women didn’t like the black color and stiff texture. But Bertelli kept working on it and never gave it up. Finally Prada nylon bags win their consumers’ heart. Now the nylon bags not only keep their original good features: handy and functional, but also the new technique can change their previous stiff appearance into a soft texture. Nylon bags are getting more and more popular.

Canvas is another options among the handbag fabric materials. It has a stiff appearance and colorful prints with its easily printing feature. The canvas bags are more popular in the casual occasions like shopping. Usually the handbags have enough space. With their colorful prints, people have more trendy canvas bags in their wardrobe.

Compared to the above two fabric, cotton handbags have one obvious advantage - soft and lightweight feature. It takes much smaller space in your storage. It can have the same colorful prints as the canvas bags, or even better. Currently more and more women would like showing their unique fashion favor with their beautiful cotton bags.

Pricewise, fabric handbags are usually much cheaper than leather bags or PU bags. However, the non-leather fabric bags can be more expensive as long as they have a fabulous design. Nowadays, the design and the style of the handbag are taking into consideration more.
