Leonard began his career working with Emilio Pucci. He soon began his own clothing line, mixing innovative designs with more traditional Italian styles. The ties are made of high quality materials and feature designs of both classic and trendy styles for their customers.

Leonard Tie Styles.
Leonard Paris ties come in three different styles: stripes, Hermes/Ferragamo, and whole picture ties. The striped ties are the classic Leonard tie. The feature one or two stripes of color and usually have "Leonard" written in the stripes. The Hermes/Ferragamo ties have repeated motifs. The pictures in the motifs vary greatly. Sometimes they feature nautical themes, other times they are small flowers, one shows the Scales of Justice. The full-tie pictures usually show colorful flowers. These flowers are large and take up the bulk of the tie's wide end.

Knots for Leonard Ties.
Leonard ties are made of 100% silk. These ties are perfect for a variety of knots. The thin material allows the tie to be folded and looped many times, allowing the wearer to make simple knots and more complicated knots that may appear bulky when used with thicker materials. For this reason silk is a good material for making the Cavendish knot. The shape of the knot is similar to a four-in-hand, but it is much larger and makes a 2-center knot. Here are instructions for making a Cavendish knot.

The Cavendish: Take the narrow end over the wide end. Next take the wide end and loop it behind the narrow. Take the narrow end over the wide once again. Now take the wide end and take it up behind the knot you've just made. Take the wide end over the narrow and then the narrow under the wide. Once again you'll want to take the wide end of the tie over the narrow end. Now take the wide end and again bring it up behind the knot around your neck. Pull it through the middle of the knot, tighten the tie and make any adjustment you may need to present a fresh, tidy knot.

The Cavendish is not a self-releasing knot, so when it comes time to remove it, you'll have to completely undo the knot unlike some knots, like the simple and Windsors, that you might be used to.
