Lilian Asterfield Women’s Ruffled Bow Tie collar Modern Victorian accessory

Lilian Asterfield Women’s Ruffled Bow Tie collar Nicole Deponte is the creative designer behind this unique accessory. Her “creations invite viewers to develop a deep appreciation for the beauty and aesthetics of everyday life.” For me, this piece certainly portrays that. 😄 The Aster design features two silk neckties that are hand-ruffled, draped, and stitched, along with collars lined with luxurious grosgrain ribbon for comfort. The knot is adorned with a sewn-in dress snap for easy use. Measuring 18" snap to snap, this design is perfect for those seeking a closer fitting ascot style. Check out asterfields.com to see some more of her brand. This type of accessory first appeared in 2007 I am guessing from history detailed on her Etsy shop. Current prices are $300+ US for new creations. Callout: See picture. Under the fastener where it snaps together, the silk appears to have been snagged across a couple times where the original owner may have been trying to “find” where the snap was/is located. However, this should not be visible when it is fastened together.
