There are two types of motif tie; Woven ties and Printed ties.
In a woven tie your design is first converted into a unique 'jacquard' card, which then controls the weaving process. Your motif is woven into the cloth from which the ties are made.
'Foulard' printed ties are produced by dying the design using screens into fabric, which is then made into ties or ladies scarves.
