FreshNeck was created to solve a simple problem - the traditional way of owning and wearing neckwear is stale and inefficient. Purchasing ties at retail prices is expensive, and wearing the same ties over and over again in a “rotation” is boring. Not to mention the inconvenience of going to the store to sort through hundreds of ties with only the help of a biased salesperson. The modern man deserves better. With FreshNeck, guys can finally have access to designer accessories - Ties, Bow Ties, Pocket Squares, Cufflinks, and more - in a convenient and affordable way. They combine top brands, style advice, recommendations, and unparalleled convenience, with modern technology to deliver a revolutionary experience that will change the way guys view their wardrobe.
