not enough fish in the sea

not enough fish in the sea by anna mcgregor from australia

designer's own words:

Every gentleman ought to have a lucky tie. This quirky motif was inspired by an antique sub that I saw while on holiday in Monte Carlo, the overall shape looked like a whale and the idea steamed from there. This tie tells a sweet story of a whale that falls in love with a submarine. Yes, there are plenty of fish in the sea, but we all want what we can't have! This design will also work if the sub appears more than once on a tie, but I like the idea of a little surprise when a man opens his jacket and the bottom of the tie is revealed.
