Today is National Bowtie Day, which if you split bowtie into 'bow' and 'tie', then it is our kind of day! Neckties are our thing and bows are the way to wear them :)

But let's be honest, bows are having a moment and we are here for it!

To celebrate National Bowtie Day, which we can probably agree should be renamed to 'National Bow Day,' we pulled together 10 bow themed goodies we are crushing on.

At the heart of andieanderin is a desire to collaborate, partner, and promote other women owned businesses. 

For the second time, we joined forces with fellow New York based women entrepreneurs to host a weekend long pop up we call Gal Pals Unite. See some pics from the shop and learn more about the amazing women owned businesses we collaborated with. 

If you are anything like us, you tuned in live to watch the celebrities pour into the Met Gala on the first Monday of May...and have since scoured the internet for any looks we may have missed on tv :) Not to mention, the after-parties!

B-O-W-S were everywhere and we can barely handle it! 

To prove that bows owned the pink runway, see our gallery of bow-tastic Met Gala looks!

We recently joined Pinterest and to spread the word, we are sharing an excessive 50 photographs of the remarkable Princess Diana wearing bows and neckties because this is how we spent our first hour on Pinterest :)

Hope you enjoy these photos of philanthropist and fashion icon Princess Diana. Let us know your favorite look!

This past Friday, March 8 was International Women's Day. It was truly an EPIC day for us at andieanderin. We had an amazing display of community from our necktie tribe, we attended 4 events throughout the week, got some nice media coverage, and our necktie was on stage at sxsw for a feminist fashion talk! 

Read on for more highlights and to see all the amazing photos of our necktie tribe wearing their power neckties in honor of the day.

If social movements have anything to do with it, we think so. Neckties have been around for centuries, worn by both men and women. The design and material has changed through the years, but to this day, a necktie is a necessity in a man’s wardrobe, yet nowhere on the list of closet necessities for women. But that could change in 2019...

Our neckties are each a celebration of an influential women from history or today. Each one has a unique name and distinct design that was directly influenced by the influential woman muse. 

See more details on how we developed each design.

On Friday, December 7, we will officially be 1! We are so incredibly thankful to everyone that has supported our business and rocked our neckties! It has been a year of learning with major highs and major lows, but all in the name of starting and growing a business. See our greatest hits from our first year!

Our power neckties make a great gift for any women or girl in your life, but it can be tough to decide which necktie would be the best fit for your special friend or family member. See our guide below for an expanded list of the necktie personalities.

We will be ladies of the town this fall and winter! With events on both coasts, you can find us in Seattle and New York in the coming months. See the list of events and even some giveaways!!

There are power in numbers, especially when it comes to gathering women together. We recently hosted a group of amazing women to talk influence, necktie designs, and styling - not to mention it all took place at a cafe named after Ada Lovelace! It was a magical evening. Here are a few of the photos.

We want to let you in on a little behind the scenes action as to how we select our women muses and tackle the design process. With a little help from Giphy, we are taking you through the many steps and accompanying emotions we experienced when designing our second collection of neckties.

Welcome into our world :)

On this Mother’s Day, we thought, how fun would it be to try and design a necktie inspired by ‘Moms’.

We understand this is nearly an impossible task, as moms are as diverse as we all are as people, so we took on the mission like we do with all our designs and turned to our research to help us determine the most genuine design.

Everything old is new again and that couldn't be more true for women's neckties (aka pussybows). It has been a relevant garment accessory for centuries, been a symbol of demureness, femininity, and power AND it has been called a host of different names including neck bow, floppy bow, bowtie, neck scarf, necktie, and pussybow to name a few. Take a stroll down memory lane with us as we look at how the women's necktie has transformed over the years.

What is there not to love about Mrs. Michelle Obama? A gutsy, smart, bold and determined woman equal to her husband (ahem, the former president), she is a true symbol of femininity and strength. She also became a notable trendsetter while being FLOTUS and we couldn’t help but point out the many times she rocked the necktie trend. See the gallery of photos below.

What a ride! The last 30 days has been some of the most challenging, rewarding, and emotional (in a good way) days of our lives! Our Kickstarter campaign closed at 136% of our financial goal and our new website launched, all on the same day. The moment was worthy of a celebration, so we threw a party with family, friends, and new collaborators.
