Luxury meets frenzy—choose wisely.

Commerce in Motion

Brands embracing ethical sourcing and fair pricing redefine luxury through transparency. In a world where speed sells, discernment becomes the ultimate flex. The smartest deal? Value that lasts beyond the checkout screen.

Tie one on. Style speaks before you do.

Knots of Confidence

Bow-ties aren’t just accessories—they’re attitude. National Bow-Tie Day, celebrated every August 28th, is the day to embrace your inner elegance, nerd, rebel, or icon. Whether it’s velvet at the gala, paisley at the cookout, or satin with your kicks, the bow-tie is a timeless flex that says one thing: you showed up with intention.

More than just old-school formalwear, bow-ties have evolved into cultural statements. From jazz musicians to professors, politicians to hip-hop heads, and fictional legends like James Bond to IRL disruptors like André 3000 and Mr. Rope himself—rocking a bow-tie means you’ve got something to say without opening your mouth. It’s classic. It’s quirky. It’s savage when styled right.

Vibes

Clean drip. Sharp lines. Bold energy in a simple knot.

  • Post a pic or throwback in your best bow-tie fit
  • Learn how to tie a real bow-tie (and flex the knowledge)
  • Customize or design your own—silk, velvet, leather, camo, you name it
  • Gift one to someone who could use a little extra confidence
  • Support small brands or Black-owned bow tie businesses
  • Style a casual or streetwear look with a statement bow-tie twist

Pulse Check

What does your perfect bow-tie say about you?

Bow-Tie Day is all about showing up sharp, but staying true. It’s detail that demands attention. Tie it up, flip the script, and let your neckwear speak volumes.

Interesting Facts

  • Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin both made bow-ties part of their signature style
  • The real bow-tie resurgence came through Black creatives in fashion, jazz, and academia
