Designed by Sovereign Beck, a New York-based pair of designers, Perspective Ties are a lovely variation on a traditional striped tie. The ties come in navy and asphalt gray and feature cleverly spaced lines that create a horizon just in the center of the tie. The illusion is subtle, but somewhat mezmerizing, so don't be surprised if you catch someone staring at it - particularly if you're in a dull meeting. It is 100% silk. Price: $90.

Does a tie count as a bow? The Marc Jacobs Tie Tasha would be a rather ordinary bag, if not for the two giant leather flaps that make a loose bow over the bag's open top. The large handbag is made of soft black leather and is studded with golden brass studs, topped off with an edgy brass linked shoulder strap. The strap is connected with a trompe l'oeil signature push-lock closure at either end, and the top of the bag has slight ruching, making it appear to be less structured than it actually is. Inside, the bag features a contrasting leather lining in a green tone and has a zippered pocket. Price: $1,950.

Father's Day started in 1910 and though there is no record of when the tradition of giving Dad a tie began, they are the quintessential father's day gift. Unfortunately, the more popular ties were as a gift, the less attractive they seemed to get and before long, father's seemed to dread getting "another ugly tie" - as though they were often besieged with such ties. But ties are useful and, thanks to more than a few good designers, there are a lot of fantastic looking ties. Here are some of our favorite picks for Dad this Father's Day.

If Dad likes a bit of a vintage edge to his clothing, or simply doesn't seem to have completely gotten over his fondness for his younger, wilder days, Ben Sherman's warm, vintage brown silk tie with a geometric, floral pattern is one he'll love $59.50.
