The Truelove knot is a complex knot that is divided into four distinct quadrants, it sometimes resembles a heart, or a cross, or t-shape. It is tied with the little end and the extra fabric is tucked into the collar like the Trinity or Eldredge knots. This is probably the most complicated knot to tie and it will probably take considerable practice. But it is certainly worth the effort. The knot was invented by tie alchemist and gentlemen Eliot Truelove, check out his channel.

Do you recall what the name of the tie in the third picture is? The white one with black and red stripes. Or do you know where I could get one?
Thanks for the demo!
I am sorry I do not know…
Croft & Barrow has high quality ties of all types, including what you are looking for.
That tie is The Tie. Meaning, it is the ONE being featured, and instructed. All three ties are the same; they’re all the Truelove Knot.

Perhaps with a reversible tie, you might not want to twist the tie (after the Murrell stage). That way the reverse side is exposed and you would therefore get a two couloured version. The knot also gets a slightly different shape.
Can you post a diagram?
Sorry there is no diagram of this knot that I have ever seen.

This is so bizarre to me — that domain used to belong to the band Smoking Popes.
