Haroof Navy

Description

This is the most significant tie in the collection. Midnight navy silk carries large-scale Arabic calligraphy, haroof, woven directly into the face of the fabric in a tonal weave. The calligraphy does not sit on the silk. It is the silk. Two textures, the same colour, the same depth, with the letter and the ground indistinguishable until the light finds the difference between them. Arabic script in the Sufi tradition is never merely decorative. It is the word as sacred form. This tie is worn with the understanding that what rests against your chest carries weight.
