The Over-Thinker Hair Tie

The Over-Thinker Hair Tie tells the story of Dante's self-doubt. He questions his ability to travel the course, asking, But I, why should I go there, and who grants it? I am not Aeneas, I am not Paul Neither I nor any man thinks me fit for this. So if I commit myself to go, I fear that I might be going in folly Virgil reassures him with a dose of tough love; instructing him to stop over-thinking, to push his cowardice aside, and to go forth through the dark wood. Thisfragment of the conversation is carried on the hair tie as a reminder to be courageous and without fear.

At Alighieri, we believe in creating forever heirlooms. This piece is carved by hand, then cast in bronze and plated in gold a stone's throw from our studio in Hatton Garden. The bronze used in this manufacturing process is fully recycled, with all excess metal going back into the cycle of creating tomorrow's forever piece. Each one is then hand-finished with care and love. Our small, family-run caster has been our partner since the very inception of the brand - every step of our process is driven by human beings and their stories, from Dante to Rosh to our A-team... to you.
