Handmade acessories for him

Loft Trading, a collection of handmade accessories for men, is the brainchild of Belfast-based graphic designer Chris Tyndall, a sharp dresser with a keen eye for the decorative appeal of such trappings. His collection of neckties, scarves, bandanas and pocket squares was born from a desire to highlight the beauty of Irish and Indian textiles, and his love of these fabrics shows in his selection of Madras cotton, chambray, Irish linen, Shetland wool and Donegal wool. This lovely plaid tie (€120), for instance, is typical of the collection, and can be found in Dublin in Indigo & Cloth on Essex Street in Temple Bar.
