Brackish began with one feather bow tie designed by Ben Ross and gifted to his groomsman, Jeff Plotner. Since its inception, the brand has blossomed into a full line of men’s and women’s accessories designed and handcrafted in Charleston, South Carolina with each piece focused on honoring the beauty found in nature. The Rice Bow Tie is the black counterpart to the all white Carew style. Named after Carew Rice, a South Carolina artist who used black and white silhouettes to imitate the world around him. This piece is made from black goose feathers.
