The Papi-Lumen line faithfully reproduces the profile of a classic bow tie.
Made of plexiglass, only 3 millimeters thick, it is very light for the wearer. The personalized engraving of the surface gives it a decidedly elegant appearance.
Its main feature is that of “turning on“. That’s right, miniaturized in the node there are batteries, switch and LEDs … just move the switch to surprise everyone.

Illuminated Plexiglass bow tie
Thanks to the refractive properties of plexiglass, the incision made on its surface will capture the light of the micro LEDs contained in the central bow.
Basta accendere i led per ottenere un’effetto stupefacente.
Furthermore…
The bow, made with the 3D printing technique, opens on the back to allow the batteries to be replaced. A leaflet will show you how.
The Papi-Lumen is complete with batteries and adjustable elastic strap.
Origin and history of Bow tie
The bow tie originated among Croatian mercenaries during the Thirty Years’ War of the 17th century: the Croat mercenaries used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. This was soon adopted (under the name cravat, derived from the French for “Croat”) by the upper classes in France, then a leader in fashion, and flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is uncertain whether the cravat then evolved into the bow tie and four-in-hand necktie, or whether the cravat gave rise to the bow tie, which in turn led to the four-in-hand necktie
The bow tie is making a comeback at fun-formal events such as dinners, cocktail parties, and nights out on the town. Bow ties are often worn with suits by those trying to convey a more dressed-up, formal image, whether in business or social venues. Bow ties are still generally popular with men of all ages in the American South, having never gone out of fashion there.
