Description
The Ellis Collection is a nod to Ellis Island, a beacon of hope to millions for a better life. This original Ivey Abitz design is made just for you in New York.
Get to Know Ellis
The Ellis Sash celebrates the symbolism and significance of Ellis Island. It reminds us of what millions of immigrants have given up in order to come to the United States. It reminds us of their resilience and hope for a better life.
The Ellis Collection also reminds us that Ivey Abitz is able to create clothing that celebrates our uniqueness because we live in a country that seeks to honour the ideals of independence. For that we are grateful, and we want to wear these ideals in everyday life.
Our inspiration came from the shape of the actual island, as well as the architectural details in the buildings, that welcomed those coming here for the first time. Curves and points adorn the bottom hem of the front and back of the frock. These details echo many other designs in the collection, especially the Bartholdi, Liberté, and Bedloe designs.
Fabric
The sash can go in many different directions based on the fabric that you choose. Lightweight cotton voiles and silk chiffons give an ethereal layer that can be worn during the hottest spring and summer days. A thicker weave, like a cotton knit, can give you a light layer of warmth around the neck during the autumn and winter. Striped, textured, floral, and plaid weaves lend themselves well to this lovely accent piece.
Ensemble Suggestions
The Ellis Sash was designed to be worn with other designs in the Ellis collection. Due to its versatile design details, the Ellis can also be worn with all of our shirts as a necktie.
Available in one size fits all. Approximately 58” inches in length.
