i met alessandro tomassetti on my quest for the perfect scent. i stumbled into this amazing tiny shop filled with beautiful things....for BOYS! still, i always considered it one of my favorite los angeles stores until he shuttered up and threatened to leave us all for somewhere more glamourous. he now has a collection of made-to-order shirts on his site, filius design, where you can order short or long sleeve, choose your fabric and choose among classic and out of the ordinary styles. he also hand makes bowties - one is varnished birchbark! he is an amazing artist, as you can see from the sketch above....i'm dying to have him draw me - as long as he re-touches as he goes! if that weren't enough he is genuinely one of the loveliest gents you will ever meet. hands down. i love the fact that everything is hand-made locally. so head over to his site and support this amazing craftsman. the bowties are the perfect gift for the holidays and are crazy affordable. and who doesn't love a man in the perfectly tailored shirt? shop here: filiusdesignblog here: talking shi*t
