Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done an intro!
My name is Taylar and I am the owner of The Bows and the Bees! I have been open for over 6 years now, and bow-ing has been my full time job since mid-2019!
I have a Master’s Degree in Theatre Design and Technology Costume Design (which is honestly a fancy way to say a masters degree in sewing and design) and taught at a college level for years before I stumbled into bows!
My journey into hair bows began in 2018 when I was living in Illinois. I had actually slipped on the ice and gotten a concussion. As a part of my treatment, I wasn’t allowed to watch tv, use my phone or computer or read/do small focused work like puzzles for over a week.
So, bored one night (a night I normally would have been using to work on my jigsaw puzzle) my husband and I decided to come up with a business idea. I never wanted to work for other people and had tried out a few smaller ideas in the past without really committing to them, so we figured it would be a good time to try it out. My daughter loved bows at the time but hated normal “themes” on bows like unicorns and mermaids. She was more of a velociraptor and dragon kinda girl and often wore clothes from the boys section, and we certainly never found bows that suited her interests, so I thought I might make my own!
And now, six years later, I’ve ventured into Wholesale! I have tons of unique prints and styles for you to shop AND supply boutiques and other small shops!
So welcome, feel free to ask questions and DM if you need access to my wholesale group!
