FAQ’s

How do I tie a bow tie?

How do I order a bow tie?

• The best bet is to e-mail me and let me know what you want.  I will gladly take custom orders to give you exactly what you’re looking for. 

How do I pay you?

• To pay me, you may send a payment through www.paypal.com to ellielaveer@gmail.com (preferred) or you may mail me a check.

How can I get you to convert my neck tie for me?

• You send me your tie and I will mail it back to you within a week – unless otherwise stated.  Please e-mail me at ellielaveer@gmail.com to let me know what I should be expecting.  It is easiest for me to convert wide ties because it gives me more silk to work with.  I will mail you back your former neck tie with new bow tie interfacing and sliders to make it fully functional for you as a bow tie to show off to all your friends.  The fee to convert ties is $23 and I gladly accept tips for emblimatic ties.

What about those Pocket Squares- How to I get one of those?

• Currently, I am offering Navy and White pocket squares, however, if you see a bow tie fabric that you like, please enquire about it, I may have enough fabric to make you a square out of it.  The squares are 14 inches and are hand rolled and hand sewn.  Squares also cost $23. 

Do you give discounts for bulk orders?

• From time to time, I am able to offer discounts for large (over 7) orders that are placed at the same time.  Make me an offer.

Do you make children’s ties?

• Yes but I don’t really advertise them yet.  I can make children’s bow ties and neck ties.  I could even turn papa’s old neck tie into a tie for the little one.  Children’s ties are $18.  Any bow ties that you see in my store can most likely be also made in children’s sizes.  The ties are pre-tied and made with elastic that wraps around the collar and fastens with velcro.  I can also make freestyle ties for little guys.

Can you make a large amount of ties for my wedding?

• Well, sure.  If you are not sure if you want to buy all 15 ties at once, you can just order one tie as a sample.  You can also send me the fabric to make ties out of.  I’m hoping that someone will send me tartan fabric someday to make wedding ties.  That would be so cool!  I love making ties for weddings.  I also love it when you show me your wedding photos so I can see how awesome my ties look on your dapper wedding party.

Do you make each tie after it is ordered?

• Most of my ties are made after I am paid for an order.  This gives me the flexibility to make a bow tie customized to your liking.

What styles of bow ties can you make?

• I can do whatever you want.  My standard is the 2 3/8″ butterfly, but I also make diamond point and straight bow ties.

Do you accept returns?

• Thankfully, no one has returned a tie to me but I will accept returns or do my best to get you something that works best for you.  However, I cannot give refunds for large custom orders or conversions from your neck ties because they are such specialized orders that I may not be able to resell.
