With Father’s Day fast approaching, we thought this was an excellent opportunity for another design challenge! And what better way to celebrate the dad in your life than with a really great tie, made by you. We’ve partnered with the awesome folks at Knotty Tie Company to help you do just that with our latest challenge.
If you’re not familiar with Knotty Tie, they are a new startup that lets you create your own amazing tie designs and then they handcraft your masterpiece for you. They recently had a very successful Kickstarter project and we’re definitely excited to see them bring a little fun and creativity to the world of ties.
