History of Knotty Tie Co.

At this time, shopping for Knotty Tie Co. products is exclusively online. We are working to reopen a small retail store location at our Denver Headquarters in 2025. Currently, our facility located at 926 W. 10th Ave Denver, CO 80204 is for manufacturing exclusively.

A few times per year our company participates in the Santa Fe Arts District Arts First Friday and opens our doors for tours, limited retail sales and live music. Follow us on social media if you'd like to know when we are planning to open for a First Friday.

We don't necessarily recommend picking up at our Denver facility, however, in urgent circumstances or if needed we can usually support an order pickup. We are working to systematize order pickups and with busy staff and limited operating hours us offering at checkout to everyone is just not possible yet. Please contact team@knottytie.com for availability of pickups.

We are open to further supporting causes related to our mission including refugee and the environmental causes with product donations. If your event or cause is related to ours, contact team@knottytie.com to inquire further about considering making a product donation.

We also collaborate with causes on larger projects. For example, UNHCR (the UN refugee agency) wanted to provide blue ribbons to celebrities at televised awards functions so we produced 15,000 ribbons at cost to support their campaign since we both work to support refugees. Working together often our impact can become something larger than a generic product donation ever could be.

There are employment social enterprises that are nonprofits, often providing skills training or employment to marginalized and disadvantaged groups that have barriers to employment. Knotty Tie is defining an unconventional model as a for profit company and social enterprise. The key distinctions are that our operating funding is largely, if not entirely, provided by sales of our products whereas non-profits typically operate largely from donations and grants. While both models certainly have their merits, especially for addressing differing problems, we are forging an impact model that is competitive and self-sustaining, matching the skills of resettled refugees with the core operation of our company and building of our products.

We are not currently hiring for any open positions at this time. Stay tuned for employment opportunities by following our company on Linkedin, Andrew Hudson's Job List and Indeed for positions as they become available.

If you are seeking to refer a refugee community member skilled in sewing and wishing to work for our company, please refer them to their respective resettlement agency employment office and have them contact us to be added to our hiring notifications.

We do not entertain solicitations for services and will not respond to your emails, phone calls or social media messages for funding, marketing or otherwise. If we are interested in your service, we will contact you on our own accord.
