To celebrate the new collection and one full year of advocating for equality, Tie The Knot, The Tie Bar and Beverly Center are teaming up this holiday season to extend a unique opportunity allowing consumers to shop for a cause by opening a Pop-Up from Nov. 18 – Jan. 10. The exclusive shop will feature every previously sold-out design from the collection’s inception, including all of the past bow ties designed by guest designers such as Isaac Mizrahi, George Takei and more, as well as selections of other fashion forward men’s accessories furnished by Tie The Knot’s retail partner, TheTieBar.com.
The shop will be located at Beverly Center (Level 7 – Luxury Wing), 8500 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048. All proceeds from the sales of the fashion accessories and bow ties go to the fight for marriage equality. beverlycenter.com
