As is usual when the economy is going down the tubes, Lenox Square Mall has new luxury tenants...

Bulgari opened in a space previously held by a mall-type jeweler, a shoe store, and Judith Leiber.

I've often wondered how a Milanese jeweler became the ne plus ultra of hotel toiletries, but I saw something in their new shop that astounded me.

Their ties.

The ones I looked at are seven-fold, with witty but tasteful designs typical of Ferragamo and Hermes. And they're $175, which is very high for ties but quite reasonable for seven-folds.

I bought one last year from Filene's. It was marked at $29 (I think it may have been mis-priced). Its an ok tie for the price but nothing special. Certainly not worth the retail price tag. You can do much better for 1/3 the price.

C21 had a bunch in for $70 - I bought 2 and was very satisfied.

Miket - try Filene's across from Phipps - they have PILES of Brioni, Church's, Canali, etc. for 50-60 bucks.

They certainly are worth it. The silk is very nice. Manton recommends them in his book as well.

I'll go tomorrow night. I'm not wearing ties to work right now, but it's always nice to have a few [dozen] around for when the mood strikes.
