Custom Made Bolo Ties

Designed to be as individual as you are.

Each piece is born from a true collaboration between artist and collector. Together, you shape a design that captures your strength, spirit, and individuality—translated into form with care and intention. What results is more than jewellery: it’s a lifelong gift, a collector’s treasure, a family heirloom. A singular work of art, created only once, for you alone.

You're invited to book a private 30min free online consultation with Kate where every bolo tie is custom designed and handcrafted exclusively for its wearer. Your exclusive consultation allows for you to discuss your ideas, inspiration and budget.
