Purple has been a revered colour throughout history. The ancient Romans decreed it to be a royal colour that could only be worn by noblemen and senators. It was also a rare colour since it could only be extracted from a certain Mediterranean snail! Purple was equally venerated by royalty and chieftains throughout the world. Long before the Romans, the founder and king of the Persian Empire, Cyrus the Great, donned a purple tunic as his official royal uniform. Today, the colour purple in its various beautiful hues continues to command attention and respect. We at Tieroom love our collection of purple-hued neckties, as we know you will too. We offer polka dots, paisley and delicate floral patterns in shades of purple. There is also the option of stunning ties in solid magenta, lilac or violet that will also catch the eye and complete your ensemble. Versatility is another hallmark of a purple tie. It looks as commanding in the boardroom as it does gorgeous at a summer wedding early evening soiree. Zoosh up your wardrobe with purple!
