Tie One On

Black-tie event season is just around the corner. All over the country, LGBT organizations host formal dinners and fundraisers this time of year because nobody wants to wear a tuxedo in the middle of July.

So why not mix it up this year and turn that Black Tie Event into a Cork Tie Event?

usa-09_16_15(2)Whether you’re a wine lover, giving one to a wine lover or simply have a fondness for bulletin boards from your elementary school days, NYC-based Jose Bravo has created the Alois bow tie of 100% cork and made it right here in the USA.

With a gloss finish, each cork tie adjusts to fit necks from 11 to 19 inches (our favorite size range across several categories).

As with so many unusual-material bow ties, this is one that’s sure to be a great conversation starter.

Just like a good bottle of wine.
