Peter-Blair

A few weeks ago one of my good friends asked me for suggestions of my favorite tie designers, because she wanted to get her boyfriend a nice tie for graduation.  My three suggestions were:  Southern ProperHigh Cotton Ties, and Peter-Blair.  I wanted to focus on Peter-Blair for today's post, because it is a smaller, Richmond-based company that many of you may not have heard of.

Peter-Blair is located on Grove Avenue in Richmond, VA at the Shops at Libbie and Grove.  This is one of my favorite parts of the city, because it has a cheery feel and is filled with cute shops and restaurants.

The mantra behind Peter-Blair is:  "We're not just selling a product.  We're offering a lifestyle."  They seek to offer men's clothing and ties that are "classic with a twist."    Upon entering the store, I always feel excited by the bright colors and rich fabrics!

They have the best displays!

On their website you can buy their ties, bow ties, cummerbund sets, and pocket squares.  They also offer customization.

A few of my favorite patterns are below:

Available in a bow tie or regular tie and in other color combinations

These are just a FEW of the MANY prints and designs available.  If you like what you see, definitely check out the site (they're having a great sale right now)!  These ties would be the perfect present for that special man in your life!

A few years ago I got my dad a Peter-Blair cummerbund set for his birthday!
