Design and Craftmanship

Dedicated to quality since 1950

Audrey Talbott enjoyed sewing one-of-a-kind bowties for her husband, family, and friends. Together, Robert and Audrey began to develop an array of exceptionally fine neckwear for what was initially a small, but steadily growing group of discerning customers.

In 1950, following a siren call westward, Robert and Audrey Talbott and their young son, Robb, arrived in Carmel, California. They brought with them an appreciation of craft and an innate understanding of and dedication to quality, beginning a humble business in the converted garage attached to their home.
