Choosing & Customising

Why choose a custom tie instead of a ready-made one?

Choose the fabric, colour, width, length, lining and personal details around your own style. A custom tie can coordinate with your outfit or carry a meaningful message for a wedding, anniversary or milestone.

Why choose a silk tie instead of a polyester one?

Mulberry silk has a soft feel, natural lustre and an elegant drape. It is a refined choice for weddings, formal occasions and gifts. Polyester offers a more budget-friendly alternative. Check the composition of the individual product or confirm your custom fabric with us.

How can I get a lower price on ties, bow ties, vests, and other accessories?

Ask for a quote for a coordinated set or several pieces in the same design. Sharing design, fabric and logistics costs across an order can reduce the price per piece. The saving depends on the items, quantity and custom details; it is confirmed in your quote.

What customization options are available for ties, bow ties, and pocket squares?

For ties, bow ties and pocket squares, options include silk, polyester and cotton (cool silk cotton), with more than 2,000 yarn colours available. Depending on the accessory, you can also personalise the lining, blade, tail and other details. Materials and construction affect the final quote.

What are the differences between a silk tie and a polyester tie?

Silk offers natural lustre, a soft feel and a fluid drape, making it a popular choice for formal wear and gifting. Polyester is a synthetic, budget-friendly option. The finished look also depends on the weave and construction; choose the material that suits your design, occasion and budget.

Can you make a tie and pocket square similar to my outfit?

Yes. Send a photo of your outfit or fabric and, where possible, a HEX colour reference. We will suggest coordinating colours for your approval. Lighting, screens and photography can change how colours appear, so a photo alone cannot guarantee an exact match.

Customization Process

How many steps does it take to customize a tie or bow tie? What is the process?

Share your requirements; we confirm the details and prepare a digital preview; you approve the preview; we then begin production. Custom production takes 7–10 business days before dispatch. Delivery time is additional and depends on the destination.

What information do I need to provide to start a custom order?

Send a reference image or design idea, a HEX colour code or photo, your preferred measurements, quantity and any personalised text. If you are unsure about a detail, share what you have and we will help you work through the options.

Will you send me a design preview before production?

Yes. We send a digital preview for your confirmation before manufacturing begins. Production starts only after your approval. Please check colours, spelling, layout and specifications carefully.

Can I make changes after approving the preview?

Changes can be made before production begins. Once manufacturing has started, changes may no longer be possible or may involve an extra charge. Contact us promptly if you need an adjustment.

What is your minimum order quantity? Can I really order just one piece?

You can order one custom tie or one custom bow tie. For other accessory types, send your requirements and quantity so we can confirm the available options.

Sizes & Specifications

Can I choose the width and length of my tie? What is the standard size?

Yes. Typical ties are 8–8.5 cm wide and 145–150 cm long. Custom width and length can be discussed before production; tell us your preferred dimensions.

What bow tie styles are available? Can I choose the size?

Butterfly, batwing and diamond-point bow ties are among the styles available. Share your preferred dimensions or neck size so we can discuss a suitable size.

What pocket square sizes are available?

Common pocket square sizes include 30 × 30 cm and 40 × 40 cm. Other dimensions can be discussed on request.

Can suspenders and vests be made to my measurements? What measurements do you need?

Yes. For a vest, provide chest, waist, shoulder and length measurements. For suspenders, provide your height, waist size and preferred strap width. We will confirm the details with you.

How do I choose sock sizes?

Provide your shoe size and specify whether it is EU, UK or US. We will help match an appropriate sock size.

Fabrics & Craftsmanship

What is the difference between yarn-dyed and printed/appliquéd designs? Why is yarn-dyed more expensive?

With yarn-dyed fabric, the yarn is coloured before weaving and the pattern is built into the weave. Printed designs place colour on finished fabric; appliqué adds separate pieces to its surface. Yarn-dyed work can require more design time, machinery and production resources, which affects the price.

Will the embroidery fall off? Will it fade after washing?

Our embroidery is stitched into the fabric using colourfast thread. Follow the care instructions for the specific accessory to help protect the stitching and colour. Silk ties should be dry cleaned rather than washed.

How should I care for a silk tie? Can I wash it? Does it need dry cleaning?

Dry clean silk ties only. Avoid water, harsh detergents and direct heat. Store them rolled or hung, loosen the knot after wear and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.

How do cotton (cool silk cotton), silk, and polyester compare? Which suits which occasion?

Silk is a refined option for weddings, formal occasions and gifts. Cotton (cool silk cotton) offers a more casual feel for everyday or semi-formal wear. Polyester is budget-friendly and can suit larger-volume or casual projects. We can help compare options for your design.

What exactly can be customized on the lining and the blade/tail? How much does it affect price?

Options include lining fabric and colour, hidden embroidered text, and different fabrics or patterns for the blade (large end) and tail (small end). Each additional detail can affect the price, so we confirm the quote around your selections.

Colors & Matching

With over 2,000 colors available, how do I choose one that matches my suit and shirt?

Send photos of your suit and shirt, together with a HEX colour reference if you have one. We can suggest colours from more than 2,000 yarn shades and confirm your direction before production. Photos and screens can introduce colour differences.

I only have a photo and no color code — can you match the color for me?

Yes. Send the photo and we will suggest close yarn colours for your review. A HEX colour code can make the reference more precise, but it does not remove differences caused by screens, lighting or yarn dyeing.

Will there be color differences between different custom batches?

Minor variations can occur between dye batches. We match yarn to your approved reference as closely as possible and confirm the colour before production to help minimise differences.

Can you send me a color card or fabric swatch to see the actual color?

Colour cards or small fabric swatches can be arranged on request. Contact us to discuss availability, options and any associated costs.

Weddings & Sets

Can I order a complete set for the groom and groomsmen — ties, bow ties, pocket squares, suspenders, socks?

Yes. We can coordinate ties, bow ties, pocket squares, suspenders, vests and socks in complementary colours and fabrics. Tell us which pieces your wedding party needs.

Can each groomsman's tie be embroidered with a different name? How is the price calculated?

Yes. Different names or personal messages can be included. Your quote depends on the number of pieces and the level of personalisation; several pieces in a shared design can offer better value.

How far in advance should I place a wedding set order?

We recommend allowing at least 3–4 weeks before the wedding for design approval, 7–10 business days of production and shipping. Order earlier for larger groups or busy periods, and check the delivery estimate for your destination.

How much cheaper is a set compared to buying individual pieces?

A coordinated set or several pieces in the same design can share design, fabric and logistics costs. The exact saving varies with the selection and quantity. Contact us for a project quote.

Shipping & After-Sales

How quickly do ready-to-ship items and custom items ship?

Ready-to-ship items are dispatched within 2 business days of order confirmation and are often sent within a few hours. Custom orders require 7–10 business days of production after preview approval, before dispatch. Transit time is additional.

Is standard shipping really free? How long does it take to reach my country?

Standard shipping is free on all orders. Delivery time varies by destination; use the estimate shown at checkout. If you need delivery to several addresses, discuss the arrangements and any extra charges with us first.

How are express shipping costs calculated? Can I rush an order?

Express shipping is available at an extra cost based on your delivery address; the rate is shown at checkout. Rush production may be possible on request. Contact us before ordering to confirm availability and timing.

What if I'm not satisfied with a custom item after receiving it?

Custom and personalised items are not eligible for return or exchange unless defective or different from the approved specification. We send a digital preview before production so you can confirm the design. Please review it carefully.

What if the finished product doesn't match the approved preview?

Contact us within 7 days of delivery with photographs if an item is damaged, defective or different from the approved preview. We will arrange a replacement or refund at no additional cost to you.

Who pays the shipping for returns or exchanges?

Can I return or exchange a ready-to-ship item?

Yes. Contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange an eligible return or exchange. The item must be unused and in its original condition. Return shipping is generally paid by the customer unless otherwise agreed.

Can you issue an invoice? What payment methods do you accept?

Invoices are available. Payment options vary by platform and are shown at checkout. Contact us if you have a particular invoicing or payment requirement.

Special Requests

Can you make a tie with a Corgi or other pet design? What do I need to provide?

Yes. Send a clear, high-resolution photo of your pet in good lighting. We can discuss an embroidered or woven design and confirm the details before production.

Can I embroider a secret message on the tie lining? Will others see it?

Yes. A message on the inner lining is hidden during normal wear and revealed when the tie is turned over. It can be a personal detail for a wedding or gift.

Can you make custom cufflinks to match my tie?

Yes. Custom cufflinks can be coordinated with your tie or bow tie. Send the design or reference so we can discuss the options.

Can you make corporate logo or group gifts? Is there a bulk discount?

Yes. We accept corporate and group projects featuring a logo or custom design. Bulk pricing depends on the quantity and requirements; contact us for a quote.
