fall/winter collection

what i'm working on

I packed these up tonight.

new product

Bow ties have been such a huge request over the last few months. I've been making them for custom orders, but clearly it was time to get some into the Etsy Shop. More are coming, but there are a few listed finally.

new promo shots

A friend of mine, who is also a model came into town recently. For the bargain price of a custom tie, he agreed to let me photograph him wearing ties.

i'm working on...

I guess I've been pretty quiet this month in blog-land. I'm busy with a lot of exciting things that I can't tell you about quite yet. Loving the color of this collection of apron ties which are headed to Home 101 in Berkeley. If you haven't been there, it is a great shop carrying a variety of fantastic antiques and some new, handmade stuff. In particular, they have tons of work by artist Sita Rupe, someone I am a huge fan of. They also happen to carry The Heated. And momentarily, they will have toddler aprons too. Ties are headed to Austin...more about this soon.

as seen on

How exciting to see some of the ties I made in a wedding feature over at Green Wedding Shoes. So often I work with a bride and groom in great detail, but never get to see the outcome.

it's beginning to look a lot like x-mas

new ties and warm weather

wonder where I've been?

This tie business is drumming up a lot of interest and I'm so excited about using fabrics designed by Lauren of Aunt June. In particular I think these prints are perfect for kids and organic fabric is even available, something I always want to support.

it's all about ciuccio right now

I had several projects backed up during the Renegade madness that was my life. And I'm still not caught up. Here's some of what I've up to.
