1. A luxury-style giftbox comes with each handcrafted piece.
We are proud of our products and they way they make our customers feel. The president himself designed the special gift boxes, custom-made in collaboration with one of our overseas partners. We know that initial presentation is important, so our custom-tailored packaging showcases our necktie’s brilliant colours and shape. The size of the box is also made in a way that allows it to travel with you easily – maybe on that next trip or dinner date? Birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, or any special occasion. We are the first company to use urethane foam to securely handle and present our neckties, so you know it will keep its shape while being transported. Most accessory items come in boring, plain boxes – not so with Altair. We believe that the moment leading up to the reveal can be just as important as when he feels the kimono silk in his hands, soon to be in yours.
2. Completely new. For that special someone who makes you feel like no one else can.
Department stores lazily scatter items all about, laid out on desks, tables, chairs – to be unceremoniously picked up and handled by just about anyone who walks through the store. Items that have been ‘tried on’ are essentially used, even though they’re then sold as brand new. At Altair, our ties are exclusively handled by our craftsman and him alone. Your hands, or his, will be the next pair to touch them. This ‘fresh’ and clean condition is but one of our many high quality standards. Make your next gift that quality. Make it Altair.
3. Help him stand out from the crowd at his next meeting or important appointment. Altair's color and style are unmatched.
His closet is mostly full of the same dark and drab designs – but when it comes to Altair, every day he wears his tie it’s a special event. Lift his mood, raise his spirit, and set the mood. This is what we call a ‘victory tie’. For those who have good taste, and wish to share it with those they love: give the gift of Altair.
4. World-class craftsmanship at your fingertips.
In general, silk fabric costs four times more than you would initially think. Specifically, a tie’s silk fabric can cost around 10 dollars. Kimonos are far more expensive than that. With Altair, you can have the kimono quality silk without having to pull out a 2nd mortgage. Japan’s history of handling and crafting silk is unparallelled- from geishas to samurai, mastering your craft is a cornerstone of Japanese culture. You can gift that excellence, and he can wear it at your next date.Combining the genius of our corporate professionals and our master craftsman here at Altair, we have found a successful process to both reduce the cost of typically expensive kimono silk and, using careful technique, allow for the unique size and qualities of said silk to be maintained and crafted into our custom pieces. Until now, neckties have played a fairly minor role when it comes to professional attire. This is the change and the difference: this is Altair.
