Crown Ties of the Rue du Consulat

Now Crown Ties was a bit of class – down on Frenchtown’s Rue du Consulat (now Jingling Road) which, back in the day, was shady, tree lined and stylish. It’s still a pretty road though with far too much traffic and a few gaps where ugly high rises have been slung in. Once it was the closest thing to Paris’s Rue de Rivoli in Shanghai.If anyone has a Crown brand tie I’d love to buy it from you by the way! Quite honestly, money is probably no object!
