Famous fashion designer and model Rich Mnisi has unveiled the newest addition to his fashion line.

His collection features newly designed ties, and they are not your ordinary ones. The price? Let's just say, you'd have to dig deeper.

Rich Mnisi's ties unveiled

Taking to Instagram, the official Rich Mnisi page introduced five very distinct ties, which are more than just...ties. Mnisi, who previously bagged a collaboration with Adidas, sought to shine the light on freedom of expression and identity, among other things.

"The tie, reimagined. Introducing five distinctive RICH MNISI ties, each one a collectable expression of form, story, and identity. From fluid motion and bold geometry to florals, texture, and the human silhouette, every piece transforms a classic essential into something deeply expressive. Designed to be worn, kept and remembered. Now available to shop on shop.richmnisi.com."

On Instagram, people are thoroughly impressed, with fans saying they want to purchase them all. However, X is a different story. Under Musa Khawula's page, Mzansi is not quite feeling the ties.

"Rich Mnisi launches their own brand of ties retailing for R799 a pop," he wrote.
