We have made a lot of bows over the years using the same technique as the originals.
All the rhinestones, bugle beads and center stones have holes which enables us to sew them by hand, and not glued, so it takes about a week to make a pair of bows.
The red silk fabric and thin leather overlay makes our bows look high quality. Our bows are always crafted to look like new, in the same condition as the originals in 1939.
