A Word from the Makers
Black tie doesn't always have to mean a plain black bow tie.
For this collection, we've chosen William Morris's iconic Strawberry Thief design, beautifully printed on Liberty of London's fine cotton. The intricate birds and botanical details, in soft greys and whites against a black background, offer a wonderfully understated alternative to traditional black tie.
We've paired the patterned bow tie with a crisp white Irish linen pocket square, allowing the design to take centre stage. Our matching Strawberry Thief cufflinks bring just a little more of the print to the outfit, without overwhelming it.
Each piece is handmade to order in our Dromore, County Down workroom, bringing together heritage design, beautiful fabrics and traditional craftsmanship.
A considered choice for weddings, black tie events and special celebrations, particularly for those who appreciate the pleasure of dressing well with a little individuality.
Choosing Your Bow Tie
Self-Tie: A traditional bow tie designed to be tied by hand. Perfect for those who enjoy the ritual of dressing well, with the character of a bow that's entirely your own. Includes our handy self-tie instructions.
Pre-Tied: Our classic Strawberry Thief bow tie, ready-tied with an adjustable neck strap. An elegant, convenient alternative with the same distinctive William Morris design.
