Branded bow ties — Serbia
Custom bow ties for Belgrade galas, FESTektenna Belgrade film awards, and corporate galas at Sava Centar. Silk and satin, screen print and woven label, 8–14 working days from Belgrade.
Where a branded bow tie fits Serbian formal events
A bow tie is a niche but high-pretention piece — it shows up at Belgrade galas (FEST opening night, Belgrade Dance Festival, December awards season at Sava Centar), corporate anniversary dinners (Telegraph, Jubmes, Banca Intesa milestones), wedding parties in premium venues (Belgrade Waterfront venues, Hotel Moskva, Square Nine), and at brand-focused promotional nights (Coca-Cola Christmas, Telekom Srbija partner events). A bow tie with the brand mark on the front panel is the most-wearable premium corporate gift — it gets photographed, it gets reused for years, and it carries the brand through the recipient's professional life.
Fabrics and construction
Two formats cover most orders. (1) Self-tie silk satin, 100% mulberry silk, 4 cm wide at the centre, hand-folded into the bow shape with an adjustable hook closure — the premium partner-gift and event-staff format. (2) Pre-tied polyester satin, 4 cm wide, with a fixed bow and adjustable hook closure — the practical staff-uniform and large-event format (200+ units). Silk twill, silk-cotton blend, and cotton voile for summer galas are options for specific briefs.
All bow ties include a 38–45 cm adjustable neck strap with a metal hook closure and a brand label on the rear.
Decoration methods
Screen print on the front face is the standard — single-colour or 2-colour in a brand Pantone, photo-quality on a satin ground. Woven jacquard (logo woven into the silk itself) is the premium format for partner gifts; the brand mark is part of the fabric and reads as a heritage signal. For a small monogram or icon, embroidery on the centre seam is a subtle option that does not compete with the wearer's outfit.
For galas where the bow tie matches a brand colour, we dye the silk to Pantone spec (200+ unit minimum) and apply the brand mark via woven jacquard or 2-colour screen print.

Wedding planners at Belgrade Waterfront hotels (Belgrade Waterfront residences, Betanija) order 50–150 bow ties per wedding party.
Frequently asked questions
What silk weight is right for a Belgrade gala bow tie?
19 mm mulberry silk satin, hand-folded, with a 4 cm wide front panel. The satin ground photographs well under Sava Centar's lighting and reads as premium in press shots.
Can you match a brand-book Pantone on a bow tie?
Silk dyeing runs at 200 units per colour — the mill setup fee is amortised across the run. Below 200 we steer clients to a stock silk (white, black, navy, burgundy, ivory) with a 2-colour screen print in the brand Pantone.
What is the smallest run for a woven jacquard bow tie?
100 units minimum for jacquard weaving — the mill setup is significant. Below 100, the screen-print silk is the practical option.
Are pre-tied bow ties acceptable for formal events?
Yes — for staff uniforms and event volunteers, pre-tied is the practical standard. Self-tie is reserved for hosts, presenters and partner-tier gifts where the hand-folded knot signals care.
Can the bow tie be paired with a matching pocket square?
Yes — 30 × 30 cm silk pocket square in the same fabric, hand-rolled edges, +RSD 380 per set. Popular for the partner-tier gift bundles.
What is the bow tie length for men and women?
Standard adult length 38–45 cm adjustable; women's length typically 35–42 cm. We size per recipient — 30 unique sizes in a 30-unit order is fine.
