While browsing Etsy for other great handmade items I came across a company called CCADesign. The owner of the shop, Caroline, began making her handmade bow ties when her son was a Junior at UNC Chapel Hill (he just graduated- Congrats!). She makes them all herself and gets her fabrics from all over the place.
I have looked through her entire collection a few times and had a lot of trouble narrowing it down to only 5 favorites. I was clearly bias to the Lilly Pulitzer bow ties…
“What’s Your Sign” Lilly Pulitzer Bow Tie
London Underground Map Bow Tie
p.s. This is Patrick’s favorite!
“Crabby” Lilly Pulitzer Bow Tie
Coral and Peach Cotton Bow Tie
“Tiger Lilly” Lilly Pulitzer Bow Tie
She has a lot more fabulous designs at her Etsy Store, so be sure to check them all out! My only complaint is that I don’t get wear them because bow ties are for gentlemen- maybe I can convince her to start making hair bows for ladies….
Stay Fabulous!
Hey, I know Caroline and have already asked for her to start making headbands. A girl can dream, right?
She sure can- headbands and hair bows in her fabrics would be to die for!
Yea, I might be obsessed with the london tie…
I just happened across this blog post and wanted to let anyone who might see it know that I also have made bow ties on Etsy, for over 18 months now, using Lilly Pulitzer fabrics, collegiate appropriate prints and occasionally a Vineyard Vine print. And, I also make bows and pearls headbands! I would love for you to check out my shop.
