Tie Necklaces: Repurposed Elegance

Scroll down for image gallery of tie necklaces available for purchase.


What ARE These Beautiful Things?!

Picture
Put simply, tie necklaces are repurposed elegance fashion accessories. Ella and Mom, Lee, search for ties of all eras and pair them with vintage brooches, upcycled fabrics and curated embellishments to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces.

The necklace component is removable, so you are able to style the one we've paired with the tie by wearing it alone, or you can swap in a different style and length.

Almost all the brooches are vintage, some antique, and a few more modern. We refurbish brooches when necessary — an art in itself with painstaking care to replace missing crystals or pearls, polish/clean metals and touch up finishes.
* Each brooch has its own story, with value and history that make your tie necklace even more of a treasure.

Giving Back

​We donate $10 per tie necklace to The Children's Hunger Project, a nonprofit that helps feed hungry children. The sale of 20 tie necklaces feeds one child in this program for an entire year!​ Ella has been fundraising and packing food/supporting this organization since she was 5 years old.
--> You can view the commercial she was asked to create to share her story at age 6, alongside Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter by clicking here. 

We also will donate that $10 per tie to other nonprofits when setting up our booth or participating in their fundraising events. We also donate tie necklaces for charity auctions.

Family Ties & Custom Orders

Picture
​We can do a custom design using a tie that is special to you, by pairing it with your brooches and pins/embellishments or pull from our extensive and growing collection to create a priceless keepsake that allows you to wear your story into the next chapter.

We also have many ties and brooches ready for creation, so if you love a particular color or a theme, we can see which fabrics and brooches would match.

^ In the photos above, Lee is wearing family ties: On the left is a stunning Mediterranean blue and gold accented tie that was her father's. The red and black tie on the right was given to her by her father, which was given to him by his father — so, guessing that tie is about 70 years old. And it's in pristine condition! Lee's grandfather was a tailor with a dry-cleaning business, so all of her dad's ties are in like-new condition.
