Customer Reviews
Made by Artisans are THE BEST.
I was in a predicament with another company who said they can make me a leather tie and 20 business days later they told me no they can't.
I contacted Made by Artisans afterwards and they quickly assisted me and I received my leather tie from them the very next day. Thank you so so much for your great service!
Very pleased with this purchase! 😊
Good quality.
Just a comment in general. Its much more difficult folding a leather tie than a silk/cotton tie. But that takes nothing away from the quality of this tie. The look is a little more rugged (knot is not 100% symmetrical and not as tight), but perfect for the look I was going for. Unfortunately the brown colour is a bit more 'faded' than the picture (the picture depicts a tan (reddish) brown colour. The tie I received was more to the khaki range, than red-brown - therefore only 4 stars.
Quick and efficient delivery of product.
