From silk bow ties to your most elaborate vision

A plain silk bow tie in a single colorway is straightforward factory work. The more developed end - custom constructions featuring metal plating on hardware details and intricate pattern engineering - is where most brands focus their briefs. For our production team, the elaborate build is the norm, not the exception.

Why source custom bow ties with THE/STUDIO

THE/STUDIO gives you a production team built in - from your first brief to your final sample - so you can develop custom bow ties without juggling multiple contacts.

Every custom bow tie is produced to your exact spec and branding, with quality checks at each stage so nothing ships until it meets your standard. You approve materials - silk, stainless steel hardware, zinc alloy accents - and decoration methods like laser engraving or metal plating before production begins. Your factory partner follows the timeline you set, and THE/STUDIO's team tracks every milestone to help ensure on-time drops, giving you full control over your white label or branded bow tie program from development through delivery.
