The tie that never was on eBay

Now I’d be the first to admit this is a bit of a non-story since this tie was never screen-worn.

But two of the Rocha John Rocha ties as sold at the infamous Bonhams auction in 2010 (see right), were recently sold on eBay.
Although she never used it, the tie fell within the rules that costume designer Louise Page set herself - dark brown accented with light blue to reflect the brown suit with blue pinstripes.

You can see here how it could have worked with the suit and overcoat.

Not being one of the sought after ties, they sold for £10.99 each, which is a snip!

  1. Delightfully, I found and was able to purchase one of these "Tie Zero" pieces despite living in the US. ^_^v It makes me ludicrously happy, considering how obscure a reference it is, and looks amazing with a charcoal business suit.
