Announcement    ReformedSchool is combining art, fashion, and eco friendly materials together to create unique items you can wear and adorn your home.

Our pre-tied bow ties and lapel pins are made from combinations of recycled/found fabrics and new materials. Our bow ties come on adjustable neck bands for adults and children. We can accommodate larger/smaller neck sizes or other customizations, just send me a message!

Our ties are all pre-tied due to textile combinations that cannot be accomplished with self ties. So you get style without the effort of learning to tie a bow tie!

ReformedSchool's artwork is all made using felt made of 100% recycled plastic bottles and repurposed materials. Most of the apparel is also made of a blend of recycled materials when possible.

ReformedSchool is combining art, fashion, and eco friendly materials in all of its offerings.

Peter's up-cycled products began in an Entrepreneurship class at Columbia College Chicago. He began making grocery totes out of t-shirts he no longer wore, but held sentimental value. ReformedSchool grew out of that project and a style conundrum. Peter wanted a bow tie made from denim and could not find one at any local retailers. He played with a number of options and decided to cut up a pair of old jeans which I no longer fit to fashion the tie. Whenever he wore the denim tie, people asked where they could get one. Now he looks for interesting prints and fabrics (both new & used), such as leather pants, scarves, shirts, skirts, and other non-traditional materials to use for his bow ties. Using recycled/repurposed materials limits the number of ties making them very unique and limited.
