The Tie Bar

The Tie BarFirst the cereal bar, now The Tie Bar. Created by the Chicago husband and wife team Greg & Gina Shugar, The Tie Bar is selling 100% silk handmade and stain resistant neckties online for only $15 each.

Greg & Gina got the idea for The Tie Bar when Greg's company followed the recent dress code trend and implemented a new "business attire" style. Returning to a more profressional dress code meant that Greg needed to ramp up his tie collection. Greg was sick of paying $50 for a good tie so with the help of his wife and an apparel designer, The Tie Bar went into business.

The designs are original and fresh and the ties are real silk, handmade and stain resistant. Guys: At $15 per tie, you'll be able to afford to wear your best tie every day. Just like The Tie Bar's tagline says. Ladies: You'll be able to fool your dad/brother/boyfriend with a stylish but cheap Christmas/birthday/graduation gift!
