Rich Man Matisse Tie

Part of the VW x Chakras x Paintings Series, this upcycled silk tie by Croft & Barrow in glossy has been hand-painted in acrylic shimmers as inspired by Henri Matisse's painting The Red Studio, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Fall 1911. 

It is said that wearing red and red tones can be a way to enhance one's root chakra.  Your root chakra aids in your sense of belonging, your sense of focus and presence, your drive to live, and your ability to take care of yourself.  When your root chakra is balanced you feel energetic and ready for the world.  So you can let this shirt be your new lucky one when it comes to feeling grounded, stable, safe and secure. 

If you need a reminder, a little 396 Hz, the frequency of the root chakra, which can be very healing to listen to, edges in on the bottom right.  And for the Vampire Weekend fan, there's the tongue-in-cheek nod at the very top: "Now I'm the one."  So if Rich Man is one of your favorite songs, or if you're in the market for a new unique power tie, this just might be the perfect shirt for you.

100% silk, spot clean only.
