We've recently brought armloads of new ties to some of our favorite Metro Detroit boutiques and galleries, who also carry a whole host of fantastic wares from local artists.

Not only is shopping locally fun, it helps to protect local character and prosperity. Locally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes. Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development.

Take a peek at some brand new designs, and a favorite new model:
Topographical Error A large area of the tie is printed with distressed remnants of 1900's sea-depth estimates taken in Scandinavian and Arctic waters. These levels are rapidly changing now due to climactic shift.
Cable Tie: (Haha, we made a funny!) Yes, it is a tie full of cables - 1/4" and RCA connectors. A large, bold print - great for dj's, producers, guitarists and all sorts of music nerds. Original illustration.
Our fierce new model for winter: Rick. Woooo! He's got on one of our best selling ties,
Victorian Gears, originally made for Alan and Siouxie's wedding last year, but now released in tons of colors and finishes. They're still cute as ever too.
