Where is Destination? Is it new?
Macrame is technically a process of tying diff type of knots. And I'm with Pradaesk, should have paid better attention, but all I wanted to do was work with clay....
How great would it be if you could say, "I macra-made it myself"

It's in the meatsmelling district. Actually it's not new. It's been around for 3 years, and I have always passed it by, because the storefront looked like another contemporary shop, a la Scoop. A few days ago I was searching for any info about Collection Privee, and I stumbled across an article in jcreport. Needless to say I was there in a heartbeat, and I was very impressed.

Yes. I liked some of them, but some I wasn't too keen on. They were just a little shinier than the stuff you can get on St.Marks for a fraction of the price. I don't know what it is about Xavier that's been making me lose my interest in him lately. He seems kind of stuck as far as his designs go, do you know what I mean?

i've seen the tie myself now in person...or a couple of different versions of it..they carry it at a detacher...a women's store...on mott st...
i didn't realize that the tie is stiff...it is treated with something to keep it stiff...
i saw a version that just had a bit of macrame at the end in blk and one in a tobacco colour that was all macrame with a pointed bottom...
the white one is still far and away the best of the best...

$170, as previously reported, sans tax. But it was 30% off, and softie, style-maven that she is, charmed an extra 5% off off the Italian salesperson.brian said:!!!
how much was it? :broken-heart smiley:
I've been wearing a lot of ties of a different sort lately (my current fave from APC), but I must say, that white version on page 1 is gorgeous. It adds a bit of boho texture to the whole stark b&w thing.
