"The marble print making up the lining is created using a technique traditional to Kyoto. Dyes are mixed with an epoxy, and then twisted and combined with other colors by kneading. The finished product is turned and distorted on multiple sides, giving you the patterns found in each rhombus making up the motif. With the varying blues, it's meant to resemble the refractions of water, while I see it more as a pattern you'd find on groovy vintage ties - both very cool."---Ludwin
