All the bows are hand crafted and only good quality materials are used. We try to keep them bright and elegant as well. Each end is treated to prevent fraying. Each bow is made with orthodontic latex band and you would have an extra latex band for each bow you purchase. If you like you may order a custom made bow I would be happy to do so. Just visit our custom made section of the website. My goal is to provide good quality products and the best customer services possible.
