St. Francis of Assisi, the Seraphic Saint - Men's Tie (Poverello Brown)

St. Francis of Assisi, the Seraphic Saint men's tie pays homage to the humble, world-changing legacy of St. Francis of Assisi—a saint who lived the Gospel with contagious joy, austere simplicity, and profound love for God and all creation. Its minimalist Tau pattern in Assisi Sand rests gently against a deep Poverello brown background, evoking the color of the friar’s habit and the serenity of Franciscan life.

The Tau, shaped like the Greek letter “T,” was the personal seal of St. Francis and remains a treasured symbol of conversion, peace, and penance. Inspired by the Biblical mark in Ezekiel 9:4—placed upon the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of God’s protection—Francis adopted the Tau as a sign of commitment to the Crucified Christ. For him, it represented a call to become a “living crucifix,” to embrace the Cross not as ornamental, but as a way of life marked by humility, service, and love.

This tie is designed for those who seek to carry that same Franciscan spirit into daily life: to live the Gospel simply, to walk gently on the earth, and to reflect the light of Christ through quiet joy and steadfast faith.
