Navy Blue French Bicycle Bow Tie

Inspired by Paul de Vivie who had a simple start in life, this Navy Blue French Bicycle Bow Tie woven by hand is decorated in a French Bicycle print. In 1881, Paul de Vivie, a man of twenty-eight, bought his first bicycle. By 1887, de Vivie decided to devote his attention to his avocation; he sold his business, and moved to Saint-Étienne, where he opened a bicycle shop and started a magazine, Le Cycliste.
