The Kuumba Bowtie, meaning “Creativity". This mauve and maroon batik is paired with a burgundy back and is available with or without bronze tips for added elegance. Pairs perfectly with a tuxedo, black, white or patterned shirt. It could also complement a black or gray suit or just the slacks.

Fabric:   Reclaimed fabric cut from a neighbor's. This particular fabric was used in a quilt that hangs beautifully in their dining room.

Details: The bow tie you will receive is approximately 4.5 x 3 inches and will be tied already and ready to wear on an adjustable 18.5-inch neckband. It is a piece of Wearable Art, which means you can wear your bow tie, get all the compliments, and then tuck it back into its box at the end of each wear. Take care of it; it will be ready for your many adventures together!

Hardware: Neckband clasp that goes under the collar. This bowtie comes with red tips.
