hello there, it's nice to meet you.
xoxo,
shauna & stephen
bow ties and neckties are just the beginning of what shauna and stephen create. their philadelphia studio (which was once a tire factory) is a well designed haven for everything artful- from hand crafted neckwear, to letterpress printed packaging and delicately crafted fixtures. their instagram feed is about as close as you can get to tapping in to the mind of the coolest people you know and every week they seem to be working on something new to covet.
their work has been featured high and low- frankie magazine and martha stewart living have both highlighted their work and the pair are regular contributors to uppercase magazine. perhaps most well known for FORAGE, the haberdashery of neckwear for gentlemen and ladies, they keep their spirit of adventure alive by seeking out deadstock fabric to make their seasonal, limited editions. they’re more than just skilled artisans and creative rockstars- they’re active members of the design community, frequently collaborating on pop-up shops, street festivals and symposiums. their work is most beautiful because they're open in sharing the story of it’s birth. it’s true- everything must have a beginning, but it’s rare to see designers so invested in inviting their customers and community to be present for the journey.
