There are some new cool kids on the block!
Often referred to as the “Bowtie Boys,” the guys of Robot & Brucling fashion custom made bow ties peppered with embellishments, studs, sparkles, jewels, and chains.
The duo (who simply go by their nicknames Robot & Brucling) had careers at Nordstrom, Ralph Lauren, Valentino, in fashion advertising, and styling before joining forces in 2009. In March 2010 they launched their website www.robotandbrucling.com and quickly flew onto the radar of stars like Beyonce, who rocked one of their sparkly creations to perform on Oprah’s farewell show (which we wrote about here).
Describing their aesthetic as, “rock chic, a brand of classic emotion with a touch of rock for young men and women who live a sophisticated, glamorous lifestyle with edge,” the two are definitely ones to watch.

Very chic, what can’t you make your own now-a-days. I love the bow and chain idea, also the studded bow tie very nice. Professionally but still expressive.

When I bought my bow tie from this company they were priced at $40-$60 with one or two at $70. Since the Queen B Beyonce was spotted in one, the prices have skyrocketed. I think it’s a silly move for their work to overprice the bow ties like this. I bought my bow tie last month and in a month when I returned TO PURCHASE MORE they had hiked the prices. I know you should make a living off your passion but this is ridiculous. Based on the comments here on the blog people are interested in their pieces but will they pay $250. Hell to the No! I think we should expect to see these prices come down soon. Because more people are going into bow tie production now so more competition for these guys anyway.
I’d go for another brand instead of these. Sorry :(
