Family-Owned Mission
The business began as a way for Travis and Isaiah to pursue an educational goal while learning entrepreneurial skills. Sales from I Tie U Buy supported a dream of visiting historic landmarks. Planned destinations included the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. Another destination included the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta. The business also created opportunities to build creativity, responsibility, and confidence. Small business ownership continues to encourage personal growth and community engagement.
I Tie U Buy celebrates the power of family, creativity, and purpose. The collaboration between Grandma, Travis, and Isaiah demonstrates how mentorship, encouragement, and determination can transform a simple idea into a meaningful business. Every handcrafted accessory represents hard work, imagination, and a commitment to building confidence through fashion.
Community & Creativity
More than an accessory brand, I Tie U Buy encourages young entrepreneurship while promoting sustainable fashion through creative upcycling. By giving new life to classic neckties, the business combines craftsmanship, individuality, and purpose into every design, creating accessories that make lasting impressions while sharing an inspiring family story.
