We have received several inquiries as to whether or not our pussy bow neckties could be used as a mask to protect against COVID-19. Unfortunately, we believe the answer is no as silk is not the recommended fabric by the CDC. BUT, we have more information on how to make your own as well as small fashion businesses that have transitioned their production to face coverings. 

As we are all cooped up in home for the unforeseeable future and trying to (every so often) distance ourselves from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) news from around the world, we pulled together a list of movies on influential women that you might want to add to your rotation. It is still Women's History Month after all! Hope everyone is healthy and safe at home with your loved ones.

Its 2020! We want to enter the new decade with bright eyes and open minds. As well as a continued mission to propel women’s stories to the forefront. We haven’t done this before, but ringing in a new decade and a year that is as monumental as the one we have ahead of us, we want to share a list of, frankly random things we are crushing on as we enter the new decade, told through GIFs :)

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. 

2019 marks 50 years since the Stonewall Riots in New York City. The outward support for the LGBTQ+ community has grown substantially over the years, but we all know it has taken decades of hard work and heartbreak to reach today’s more inclusive environment AND there is always more work to be done to reach equality in the US and throughout the world. See 12 women from history and today that have contributed to advancing the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

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.

The 2019 Women's History Month theme is ‘Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Nonviolence.’

The National Women’s History Alliance describes this year’s theme and honorees: “This year we honor women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society." Continue reading to hear about the eleven honorees

Did you hear?

There is an extreme shortage of sweetheart candies this Valentine's Day. But no need to fear. It appears the new NECCO owners, Spangler, will be bringing back the nostalgic candies in 2020 and we have some suggestions for what to press into these candies...

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!

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 :)

We have been loving doing events and talking with people about our women inspired neckties! And with each event or conversation, we always get the question of "how did you decide on the first set of women to design after?" 

It is a perfectly valid question as selecting the first seven was the most difficult part of the design process, but arguably the most fun at the same time. 

As you are probably already aware, each of our neckties come with a storyboard that includes a unique illustration of the woman and a write up on what makes her such a badass. Read on to see what was written on the boards for each woman! We think it's a worthy read :)
