Tissue parts, and a deep green silk tie lies against matching cufflinks, the dragon in a brighter leaf green that comes forward as the cloth shifts in his hands.
Emerald jacquard with the Ly Dynasty dragon woven in, and cufflinks to match.
Think of the father who wears navy to every meeting. He opens this box, turns the tie once toward the light, and sees the green move from forest to moss to something nearer leaf. The silk has a steady weight and a soft sheen, and the cufflinks pick up the same weave.
Emerald here is a deep green with a mossy undertone, and the dragon is woven in a lighter green with silver-gray outlines. Tie and cufflinks share one rigid box.
Green tie in 100% mulberry silk jacquard, 8 cm wide, 145 cm long, finished in Hanoi.

Rain, thunder and a green year
The dragon is the Ly Dynasty dragon of the Hoang Thanh Thang Long citadel in Hanoi, begun in 1010. It is a gentle figure, nothing like the fierce beast of popular imagination.
The body curves like running water and has no scales. A flame crest rises from the head, and the character for thunder sits on the forehead. Where rice is the harvest, thunder means rain, so this is a dragon that brings the season in.
Set against emerald, that story has a color to go with it. The dragon stands for strength, wisdom and success, and green suits a man who is growing a business or a team.
The pattern is woven, never printed, so the dragon is made of the same thread as the ground and the knot folds cleanly at his collar.
With what he already owns
Navy suit Green and navy sit together easily, and the dragon gives the tie something to say.
Gray or charcoal suit The tie carries the color and the suit stays calm around it.
Tan or brown jacket A softer pairing for a long lunch or a garden party.
Cufflinks and width The cufflinks need double (French) cuffs. The tie is 8 cm, the standard width for almost every lapel.
Is it real silk?
Yes, 100% mulberry silk, woven rather than printed.
The dragon is woven into the cloth, so the green and the figure share the same threads.
Why $224
Set price $224: an emerald dragon tie and cufflinks to match. The tie on its own is $167, and the cufflinks account for the other $57.
We cover the US import duty, and the gift box is included, so the parcel is ready to hand over.
Does Dad wear French cuffs?
Look for a cuff that folds back on itself with no buttons. That is a double (French) cuff, and the cufflinks need one.
A shirt that buttons at the wrist cannot take cufflinks, so in that case choose the tie alone. The emerald woven dragon tie is $167.

1 to 3 business days to leave Hanoi, then 9 to 15 business days to a US address.

For a new venture Strength and a good harvest, wished quietly at the collar.
If the dragon is too bold The Emerald tie and cufflinks is $191, a plainer weave in the same box.
How to care for it
Stains go to a dry cleaner, never to a sink.
Undo the knot in reverse at the end of the day.
Roll it loosely or hang it so the silk can rest.
