Style is in the eye of the beholder. The construction of the tie is excellent, and I would assume that the silk is some of the finest from Como. I like the style, although I can't say that I would buy it. So, the market will tell if it is worth $200. If SR sells all the silk they bought for that pattern, then it was good. If the retailer sells most of that pattern that they bought at full price, then they will most likely buy one similar for next season.
You misunderstand me. I love dots. I think they are a classic and a staple to any wardrobe. My point is that SR did not design the concept there. Its a solid blue with a white polka dot. Assuming the silk is the FINEST that como has to offer, does that mean that the tie is now worth 200 dollars? If I was selling the EXACT SAME TIE would you pay 200 dollars for it? WOuld you pay 150? 100? How much are you willing to pay simply because the name on the BACK of the tie is Stefano Ricci?
