I found a similar tie for +/- $100.  It was beautiful and the pattern was woven into the fabric.  It was silk and hand made.  I only wear the Breast Cancer Tie to fund raisers and so forth so I didn't really want to put down a C-note for the tie.  I found this tie and it is far less expensivre.  I suspect it is a synthetic fiber.  The pink ribbon will get you by, but it wasn't a true pink to my eyes.  Nonetheless, this is a great value for what it is.  Get it and you will be one of the few with a Breast Cancer tie at the next fund raiser.
