There's a new tie on the market. It's called a Sonic Fabric Tie and is designer Alyce Santoro's brainchild.
This tie is different from other ties made from recycled material because it uses old audio cassette tape as one of its main components.
Each tie is made from a combination of cassette tape and colored thread, and the ratio is about 50% of each.
The designer didn't just use any old cassette tape though. She used tape with music from the streets of New York, including some from one of her own CD's.
What makes these ties even more unique is the fact that you can actually hear some of the music when you run a playhead over the fabric portion of the tie.
Each tie retails for $90 US, and can be ordered online.
As for the playhead, if you have an old walkman or cassette player lying around, you can pull it apart and remove the head from inside to listen to some NYC beats right from your very own tie.
Would you ever wear one of these?
