Hey, I’m Carl – the designer, printer, and maker behind Stranger Ties.
Here, every bowtie, cufflink, and faux pocket square is made to order in my small Manchester studio. I design and print the fabric myself, then cut and stitch each piece just for you. It means your order may take a little longer, but it’s worth it for something truly personal.
Stranger Ties is all about bold style and playful self-expression. Whether you’re dressing for a wedding, a themed event, or just because everyday life deserves more fun, your accessories should show off a little bit of ‘you’.
If you’re curious how this all started (spoiler: it involves my past life sailing on the seas as a professional dancer ✨), you can read the full story here:
