Favorite animal? Hobby? Special colors? Team logo?
A pink shark or a purple boat? (Thinking of the brain scan bow tie for a neurosurgeon I made or the pugs wearing flowers for a special wedding) PLEASE ASK ME! I can probably source something wonderful - and I also have shelves of many fabrics that are not within my shop-your special fabric may be within my stash.

If we work together to create that special tie - I charge a small design fee to cover my time - but my customers tell me it is worth having that unique little work of art to make the day extra special.

THE BOW TIE STORY

BRIDGETOWN BOW TIES.
Bespoke Ties in Extremely Limited Editions, Made from the Finest Materials
Hand Crafted and Made in Portland, Oregon, USA
Making Us Better Looking, One Bow Tie at a Time...

In the beginning, they wore long neckties.
They spilled soup on them.
They got them caught in car doors and attache cases.
We saw this and thought-- there has to be a better way.
That's how Bridgetown Bow Ties was born.
We defy you to spill your martini on a bow tie.
Or get it caught in a subway door.

The world is now safer.

And just a little bit more fashionable.
