There are two reasons I love Figs, an indie neckwear label out of Santa Monica. The first and most obvious reason being the entire collection is just plain cool: Polka dot bow ties, classic houndstooth, and summery knit ties. But what really turned my adoration from interested to head-over-heels obsessed is the philanthropy behind it. For each tie purchased, Figs donates a uniform to an impoverished child in Kenya and Tanzania so that they can attend school.

Prices range from $125 to $140 for ties, but when you factor in the cost of a child’s uniform, this price tag seems pretty reasonable to me. Check out the whole collection here.

Lots of love,
