Vintage Givenchy

During my weekend wanderings, I found a suitcase full of vintage ties at a yard sale. These had been in an attic for about 20 years.  One of them is a vintage french Givenchy.  The fabric tag says "Imported Fabric 100% Polyester".  Image that, imported from the good ole U.S.A.   

I Googled vintage Givenchy and found some very similar ties available as collectibles.  Some of us remember when polyester was first created.  It was a miracle fabric. Washable, no wrinkles. Woo hoo! Today natural fibers are in big demand.  Wonder what the next 20 years will bring.  Here's a picture of the Givenchy tie made into an Obi style sash.
