IVY PREPSTER Information

IVY PREPSTER is a lifestyle brand committed to creating unique apparel for the preppy wardrobe, such as its successful collection of distinctive, smart knit ties. Inspired by the resurgence of the tie in the male wardrobe and the modern prep movement, IVY PREPSTER neckwear reflects the past, present and future of knit ties. The IVY PREPSTER team has combined knit sweater inspiration and whimsical design to produce a knit tie line that is youthful and classic, yet modern distinguished by its patterns, points and preppy features. IVY PREPSTER knit ties reflect classic tie patterns, such as stripes and dots, as well as sweater-like argyle and fair isle motifs and textures. Aside from standard square bottom knits, pointed structures and narrow widths provide an updated look and slimmer, taller proportion to the torso. These design features are brought to life by a fabric that has a rich, comfortable feel and finish. Every IVY PREPSTER knit tie has a unique charisma, allowing an individual to express his/her spirit and personality. This sprit, as depicted in the book "TAKE IVY," has provided additional inspiration to the IVY PREPSTER team. T. Hayashida's photo documentary captured the ivy lifestyle in the 1960's and, along with the marketplace in Japan, continues to influence the evolution of the ivy look.
