Custom Necktie Tie Memory Pillows – 16″ x 16″ (Completed & Stuffed)
Turn meaningful neckties into a one-of-a-kind keepsake pillow that preserves memories in a beautiful and lasting way.
Each custom pillow is thoughtfully designed so the front showcases the original ties, carefully arranged to highlight their unique patterns—creating a finished piece that truly reflects the person they came from. Every pillow is completely one-of-a-kind, as no two sets of ties are ever the same.
This design requires 7–9 ties. Each tie is fully deconstructed, stabilized with interfacing, and meticulously sewn onto a firm backing to ensure durability and structure. The back of the pillow is finished with a coordinating satin fabric chosen to complement the ties.
Your pillow arrives fully sewn, stuffed, and ready to display.
Because of the detailed craftsmanship involved, each piece is made with great care and attention to detail, resulting in a high-quality heirloom you can treasure for years to come.
Requires 7–9 standard neckties (please send clean ties)
Turnaround time: approximately 6 weeks
Rush service available for an additional $25–$40, depending on timeline
Local clients may schedule an appointment to drop off ties at my Rosewood Arts Center studio
Non-local clients may ship ties
Please Note: Each pillow is custom-made using the ties you provide. Because every tie varies in color, pattern, and fabric, the final design will be unique and may differ from example photos. I thoughtfully arrange each piece to create the most balanced and beautiful result possible.
A meaningful way to honor a loved one or preserve special memories in a piece you can hold onto.
Option #2:
This design is available in two style options. One features the ties in their original form, with each tie fully visible and stitched onto the pillow to highlight its complete shape and character. The second option reimagines the ties into a striped design, where the fabrics are cut and arranged into clean bands, with the original brand labels thoughtfully sewn back on as a subtle, meaningful detail. Please select your preferred style when ordering.
