In this first‑person video, Robin Williams, the founder of Bowtie, shares his personal journey as a self‑taught bow‑tie designer and solo entrepreneur. He explains how his love of color, fashion, and texture drives the creative process: spotting a fabric, visualising the finished tie, cutting the pattern, sewing the pieces, and hand‑stitching for quality. Robin describes the challenges and rewards of running the business alone, emphasizing the satisfaction of creating something uniquely his. He also highlights the confidence boost he believes a bow tie provides to anyone who wears it, regardless of age or occasion.

Chapters

I'm inspired by colors. I'm inspired by fashion and people. I make and design bow ties, both self tie and pre tied. Doing the business by myself is pretty tough, but it's fun and rewarding because everything that comes as a result, I know is just for me. I'm basically self taught. I'm drawn towards color and texture. Once I find the fabric, I kind of envision the bow tie. In my mind. Something will just pop out and I'll just be like, oh my God, this is perfect. I buy it, I bring it back to my studio. I cut out the fabric in the pattern that I want it to be. I sew all the pieces together, do a little bit of hand stitching just to make sure everything is looking right. When you look good, you feel good. Once you put on a bow tie, you automatically feel like a million bucks. Young, old, doesn't matter how you dress or where you're going, anyone can wear bow tie. My name is Robin Williams and I'm the owner of Bowtie.
