What makes the neckties of Victoria Unikat unique?
The most important thing is that they are hand-made. This is the oldest but also the most original boutique technology that very few producers in the world have to their credit. There are completely automated lines for production of neckties and at the end they imitate a hand-stitch. The machine cannot take into account the specifics of the pattern, it works with the preliminarily set sizes and this leads to imperfections, which are entirely avoided in hand-made articles.

Our ties are not what the mass shops offer. According to the individual taste and client the form can be changed, a construction could be designed in line with the physiological specificity. For a very tall man for example the confection size is not suitable. The necktie tends to prolong the silhouette. A small-checked tie or a thin stripe will make a big man look even bigger. The uniqueness and the professionalism of our products lie in the fact that we are able to make them according to anyone’s personality and vision. While we have a cup of coffee in the office, his personalized ties are ready. There are no impossible things for us.

What does necktie fashion mean?
The world trends. The width, the length, the knot and the distance from the belt buckle change. In the 70s it was worn at 15-20 cm distance and today the standard is that its tip covers the middle of the buckle. The knot depends very much on the shirt’s collar. If the collar is more open, the knot has to be bigger so there is symmetry. With a smaller sharp-ended collar a smaller knot should be done. Its width depends extremely on the fashion trends.

The shape and colors are mainly played with. The pattern depends on the place you are going to, on the social status. Even the people who are obliged by protocol to wear strict classical models can always bring in a fashionable hint. For example, the classical blue tie in a moment when pink is the hit of the season could bear a fine, almost indistinguishable pink stripe to allude that the man is in line with the fashion trends.

In your office I see a picture of you with President Parvanov. Is he a client of yours?
Yes, we regularly prepare special collections for him and we send them so he can choose the models he likes. We already know what he likes. He takes fashion into account and has a fine taste in accessories. It does him credit that he respects Bulgarian companies.

You have other famous clients too...
Days before his appointment the Polish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mr. Kshishtov Kraievski ordered his new neckties and shirts collection. Thanks to him, the Polish President Kwasniewski and the Polish Ambassador to France have Victoria Unikat ties.

Word has it that foreign ministers of Europe wear Victoria Unikat ties.
On December 6 and 7, 2004, Bulgaria hosted the 12th OSCE Ministerial Council meeting. An unprecedented event for our country. Under a project of the Foreign Ministry our company designed and produced a special fabric to make the unique neckties and scarves as souvenirs for the guests of the forum. They skillfully combined national folklore elements and modern fashion trends.

The tie is a nice but quite obliging gift. The uniqueness perhaps lies again in the fact that it can be custom-tailored.
At the moment we are working on such a special order for the singer Veselin Marinov. Since he is very busy and he thinks friendship must be kept, he has decided to remind his friends about himself – not only by sending his CDs to his near and dear but also by ordering a personalized tie for each of his friends, according to their taste, with their name interwoven.

To choose a tie is really something very personal, special. The gift must shine in the eyes and the soul of the person who receives it.
