Ten members attended a Bow Tie Masterclass at Muthaiga Country Club Nairobi. It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning of camaraderie, craftsmanship and classic style.

A very special thank you to Chevalier James Lomax for his patience and expertise in guiding members through the art of the self-tied bow tie - no easy feat.

Grateful thanks also to Dame de la Chaîne Edwina Shah for helping bring the class together and supporting members on the day, and to Échanson Vishal Tank for arranging for bow ties to be available for purchase.

Tying one’s own bow tie is a wonderfully gentlemanly and timeless skill. We may even have hosted the first bow tie masterclass within the Chaîne globally - a small but meaningful nod to tradition and elegance!
