We Don’t Sell Bow Ties, We Sell Art
Each of our eye-catching, one-of-a-kind pieces are handmade from upcycled fabric offcuts in Mutare, a small city in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, the beautiful country at the heart of Southern Africa.
We send our art out, into the world, to start conversations. Conversations about the positive impact of creativity and inspiration.
Here’s what we love to talk about…

litres of water saved
By getting creative and repurposing offcuts of fabric rather than using virgin material to make all of our products we’ve saved over 165,000 litres of water (43,700 gallons). That’s enough water for more than 6.5 years of daily showers!

We work with 8 artisans in Zimbabwe who create all of our products and packaging by hand with upcycled and recycled materials. Marjorie, who’s featured in this video, is one of the tailors we work with. Selling our pieces around the world allows us to pay our tailors 5 times the minimum wage in Zimbabwe.
Each of our eye-catching Zimbowties that we sell pays for one week of schooling for a child in Zimbabwe. Find out more at www.zimbowties.com
