A Review of 2018 for Ties Planet

As the turn of the year approaches, we look back on the last year at Ties Planet. Having been formed in 2006 we have certainly seen some interesting times in our early years but 2018 has perhaps been the most eventful yet! The cold weather meant that scarves and thick scarves were very much order of the day in the first few months of the year. Turning to politics, we have been able to cater for both Brexiteers and Europhiles. Union Jack and EU Flag ties and cufflinks are amongst... Read More

It’s Coming Home with the England Flag Tie

We’re not breaking any new ground with our suggestion that it appears that “It’s Coming Home” but we are confident there are not many sources who can help you celebrate the fact in such style.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this deal lasts until Sunday 15th July! To get the tie at half price, simply use code ITSCOMINGHOME during checkout.
