New Design Spotlight: Camel Toe

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Miriam Zelinsky

Hey guys!

I'm particularly excited about our newest design: Camel Toe!

This one has been rolling around inside of my head for some time – I just couldn't quite picture the exact design. On my last Disney trip, I was on the ride, "It's a Small World" and there a couple of animatronics I've loved since I was a kid and always look for – one of them is a pink, furry camel with beautiful eyelashes (another favorite is the hula dancers in Hawaii – love them!) As soon as I saw the pink camel and its expression – I knew exactly what I wanted the tie to look like.

Now, when you have a tie called "Camel Toe," you have to try extra hard to make the design elegant in order to balance out the extra cheeky name. Plus, who doesn't love a critter tie? Below is my first sketch of the camel. As you can see, the eyelashes followed me back from Disney.

The finished tie came from Italy a few days ago and I just can't stop looking at it! I can't wait to be at a pop up or trade show and see people laugh when I tell them the name of the seemingly innocent camel tie is "Camel Toe" – though at this point, I don't think anyone should be *too* surprised!

Cheers, guys!
