I am absolutely in love with my bow tie. It is so unique and well made.
Took a little while to get to the oder side of the pond (with Christmas peak plus COVID restrictions and all) but Laura was always super helpful and caring in replying to my queries.
Just perfect! -

5 out of 5 starsLove this bat tie, so happy I snagged one in the restock. Got it in black+grey stripe. It is a bit of a trick to tie right but luckily it comes with a hook in the back, so you can cheat it by just tying it the one time then using the loop/hook to put it on after that.

5 out of 5 starsCould Laura be any cooler? And I’m not just saying this because she is a fellow Laura! She was so kind to list this bowtie for me. It arrived today and I was completely blown away by the quality and the packaging! I’ll be wearing this to my virtual work holiday party! Definitely the pick me up I needed. Thank you!

bow ties rule.
In high school I began collecting vintage neckties to one day gift to my future husband. When I met the piano-playing-motorcycle-riding man that I would marry I first noticed his bow tie- it was on the short list of things that I wanted in a spouse (seriously- this was my list: wears a bow tie, plays an instrument, is passionate about something). A few months after we wed I uncovered the squirreled-away vintage neckties and became dedicated to schooling myself in the art of bow tie making so that I could convert them for Mr. Right.
5 years and thousands of bow ties later, xoelle is run out of my backyard studio in Hawaii.
I make rad bow ties out of second hand materials because I love the idea of turning something that's unloved and has a history into something awesome and new. I use neckties, all manner of clothing, linens, quilts, Scottish kilts, billiard felt, and myriad other materials to make my happy ties. The materials are often small-in-quantity and hard to re-source, so it limits the number of bow ties made from each pattern to usually less than 10.
