Bow Ties For Charity

There has been a real movement in the last few years to add a charitable component to weddings ranging from donations in lieu of favors to volunteer expeditions rather than honeymoons. So when we see a simple opportunity to give back, we have to share it!

Through its Threads for Threads program, for every tie or bow tie purchased, FIGS will donate a uniform to a child in order for them to attend school. According to FIGS' website, "In many parts of Africa a child may not attend school without a proper uniform. Unfortunately many areas are stricken with poverty and so countless children do not have uniforms, resulting in lack of education quickly becoming a widespread epidemic. The government provides school uniforms where it can, but of course there are not adequate resources available for that to be enough for all children. For every FIGS tie or bow tie you buy, a uniform is given to a child in order for them to attend school."

So what does FIGS mean? Fashion Inspired Global Sophistication! We are inspired to give back on a global scale and we hope you are too!
