01 / Why we exist

The tie hasn't changed in a century.

  • It still takes a mirror,
  • a tutorial,
  • and three attempts.

You don't need to know how to tie a tie to look like you know what you're doing.

Knotless is a new language of style. Simple, fast, and yours. Ties and bow ties are problems it's finally time to untie.

02 / How it works

Three seconds.
Start to finished.

  1. 01

    Put it on

    Slip the loop over your head, or open the hidden magnetic clasp and let it click shut at the back of your neck.

    ~2.0 s
  2. 02

    Adjust

    Slide the steel clasp along the cord until it sits exactly where you want it. It holds its position all day.

    ~0.8 s
  3. 03

    Walk out

    No knot to check, no dimple to perfect, no re-tying at lunch. The detail does the talking.

    0.0 s

03 / The product

One loop.
One detail.
Zero effort.

Reads as sharp as a tie across the room, without the fabric bulk at your collar or the twenty-minute mirror session. Select a detail to inspect it.

Drag the object to rotate it

Detail 01

Brushed 316L stainless steel

Machined from a single billet, brushed by hand, and cut to a tapered plate. It replaces the knot, and it's the detail people notice.

316L32 × 26 mmHidden N42 magnets

Detail 02

Tap to connect.

No app.
No battery.
No friction.

A passive NTAG 216 chip lives inside the clasp, powered by the phone's own field during the tap.

Detail 03

Matte technical weave

A dense, double-strand braid that keeps its line all day and shrugs off creases. Deep black, with a dry, matte hand. Ø 9 mm.

Detail 04

Hidden magnetic closure

Two steel cord ends meet behind your neck. Pull them apart, let go, and they find each other.

04 / Technology

Looking smart.
Tap to network.

The clasp hides a passive NFC chip, the same standard as contactless payment. Bring any phone close and it opens whatever you've chosen to share. Change it anytime. No battery, no charging, no app to install.

10 / Questions

Everything else, untangled.

Does the NFC chip need a battery or an app?

No to both. The chip is passive. It's powered by the phone's own NFC field during the tap, exactly like a contactless card. Reading it works natively on iPhone (XS and later) and any NFC-enabled Android. Writing your link takes one free, standard NFC tool or our web setup page.

What can I share with a tap?

Any URL: LinkedIn, Instagram, a vCard contact file, your portfolio, a calendar link, a payment link. You can rewrite it whenever you like, or lock it permanently if you prefer.

How does it actually stay on? Will it slip?

The loop goes over your head, or opens via magnets hidden in the cord ends. The clasp grips the double cord with an internal friction channel. It slides when you push it and stays put when you don't. It held position through a full conference day in our wear tests.

Is it dress-code appropriate?

Knotless reads as a modern tie: a black blade, a metal detail, a clean vertical line. It belongs anywhere "smart" or "business casual" applies, and most formal settings outside strict traditional dress codes. It photographs beautifully, which is often the real test.

Can I wash it?

The fabric edition is spot-clean; the blade detaches from the clasp so you can care for each separately. The steel wipes clean with a soft cloth. The leather edition prefers occasional balm, like any good leather.

When am I charged?

Not today. Reserving here only holds your tier and launch price. On Kickstarter, backers are charged only if the campaign reaches its funding goal.

When does the Kickstarter campaign ship?

We're finalizing the production prototype now. The campaign launches on Kickstarter. Early backers get launch pricing, free engraving, and the first production run, targeted within six months of the campaign closing.
