5 out of 5 starsI’ve had oxelle on my favorites list for awhile now as I have always been absolutely in love with their whimsical and unique designs, but don’t wear bows/ties. I was absolutely delighted when Laura said she would be open to making me a wired headband, and would not stop until I was 100% in love with the final product. I’m sure I was a total nightmare for her, but would be a return customer IN AN INSTANT. Someone call a hurst because I AM DECEASED. This is one of my absolute favorite purchases on Etsy. Quality and customer service are both ((chef kiss)). One million stars! 100/10! Can’t say enough good things, honestly.

4 out of 5 starsBeautiful bow tie. Very unique design I’ve never seen anywhere else. Only downside is I thought this was white and red. It’s actually grey and red. It’s not the same as pictured. Looking for more whites in my collection but either way still a very high quality bow tie and looking forward to see more of your collection. Thanks!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely met my expectations and more! Absolutely love this bow tie! I did decide to learn how to self tie it myself and it was challenging for me (novice now tie tier) but so worth it! The quality is amazing and I love whatever excuse I get to wear this bowtie with my outfits! Thanks again xoelle!

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.
13 years and thousands of bow ties later, xoelle is run out of my studio in Southern California.
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.
