Update on the history of ties with this unique invention... Back in the late 60’s, while living in Haight Ashbury, Dr. Steven Zuckerman hated the neckties he was forced to wear as a young doctor. Bored with this ritual given to men, he had his wife make him some outlandish psychedelic ties, perfect for the times, of bright Thai silk. Those ties were temporary relief and soon the ritual again became a chore for the doctor. Lightning struck, he says, one Minnesota night in 1988.

When he awoke, the light bulbs went off. “Eureka, that's it, dreams don't lie, this is a great idea! I'll invent a new mens fashion necktie.”

They christened them Belle Ties after Bernice's middle name.
