The e-commerce website
​
Bowtie Boulevard's website is quite detailed so users can find the perfect bowtie and/or accessory that is best for them. With different styles and types, everything is clearly labeled and displayed.
The products
​
Each bowtie and accessory is named after the street where the original fabric was found.
​
The goal is to cultivate a story for each product and create an emotional connection with each consumer.
​
From button down shirts to curtains to aprons, each product is thrifted, found, or donated.
There is a customized "Your Hometown" program where customers can give a sentimental fabric and transform into a bowtie.
The packaging
​
The goal was to make Bowtie Boulevard simple, minimal, and modern to focus entirely on the product since each bowtie is made from upcycled fabrics.
​
The packaging includes
-
a personal, handwritten "thank you" note
-
a bowtie tying how-to instructional card,
-
a few business cards to distribute
