The Prize

Set of four men's ties made by Bram.

The "Stromboli" and "Gallinara" ties are made of light wool. The "Burano" tie is made of summer-weight wool. The "Cannella" is made of cotton. Year, 2017.

The use of alternative fabrics and the original combination of various elements has brought to life these unique, one-in-a-million ties. They are both elegant and independent in their mix of colors and varied materials. And so, the most classic accessory of the male wardrobe is reinterpreted irreverently.

Born on the shores of Lake Como, Bram ties are a contemporary revisitation of a classic, male accessory dating back centuries. The history, tradition, manual techniques, and the sense of beauty of the ancient textiles district of Como are expressed in the careful choice of materials and the unexpected details hidden in every Bram tie. The inspiration comes from the fluid, unique multi-cultural world where being is more important than having. Bram ties are a distinctive and lively element for daily use both in and out of the office. Awareness of the history, uniqueness of the tie, the pleasure of feeling the materials, and the optimism for a more humane future, are the reasons for choosing Bram.

The Cause

Mani Tese is an Italian development NGO operating at the national and international levels to further justice, solidarity, promotion of human rights and respect among people. Since its foundation in 1964, Mani Tese has pursued this aim by raising public awareness of the causes of poverty in the South, lobbying policy makers and institutions and implementing development projects which, beside responding to the needs of the poor, may initiate a process of self-determination and self-reliance.

Up to now, Mani Tese has implemented—together with local partners—more than 2,300 development projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America in the areas of education, agriculture, infrastructures, support to cooperatives, human rights (particularly child rights, women rights, ethnic minority rights) governance, micro-credit, health, humanitarian aid, and integrated programs.

I EXIST—Say No to Modern Slavery is a program to make visible a modern phenomenon too often ignored. Slavery is the result of poverty, and it generates poverty. Mani Tese wants to contribute to a global mobilization, and to raise awareness of the manifestations of modern slavery through projects of international development cooperation, actions of awareness-raising, education to global citizenship, and engagement of civil society.
