My Journey from Selling Wedding Ties to Choosing Cashmere Sweaters in Fashion

Let me take you through the real story of my fashion shift—one that started with a unique edge in wedding ties, then led me to fall in love with women’s cashmere sweaters. It’s not just a “change of products”; it’s a journey of leaning into what I love, even when the industry pushes back.
 

My Start: Rooted in Wedding Ties (and a Big Advantage)

I didn’t just “sell” wedding ties—I grew up in the hometown of wedding tie manufacturing. That gave me a huge leg up:
  • I had direct access to top-tier factories, so I could handpick ties with better quality (no flimsy fabrics here!) and more unique patterns than most sellers.
  • I learned the craft inside out—from thread counts to how patterns complement wedding suits. My customers trusted me because I wasn’t just a seller; I was a pro.
For a while, that worked. But even with that head start, the business started to feel like an uphill battle.

Why the Tie Journey Took a Turn

It wasn’t about me failing—it was about the industry shifting, and I couldn’t fight that:
  1. Steep industry decline: Over the last two years, the wedding tie market dropped sharply. Even loyal customers were buying less, or choosing simpler options.
  2. No more Q4 boost: The final quarter (once a small busy season for holiday weddings) got quieter and quieter—sales were barely enough to keep things steady.
  3. It’s never a “must-have”: At the end of the day, a wedding tie is a one-occasion item. Unlike a everyday top or jacket, it’s not something people need to replenish or invest in regularly.

The Next Chapter: Falling for Cashmere Sweaters

Fashion has always been my passion—not just “selling clothes,” but helping people feel good in what they wear. Cashmere sweaters checked every box I’d been missing:
  • They’re timeless: No “wedding-only” limits—they work for work, weekends, or cozy nights in.
  • They’re luxurious but relaxed: That soft, warm feel people crave, without being fussy.
  • They’re a real need: Every woman’s closet needs a quality sweater, so it’s a product that fits year-round (not just for one event).
This wasn’t a random pick—it was me taking the same care I put into ties (curating quality, understanding style) and channeling it into something that aligns with both my love for fashion and what customers actually need.
I’m still on this new journey, but it already feels like coming home. I’m bringing that same “pro” energy to every cashmere sweater I pick—just like I did with those wedding ties years ago. Stay tuned for what’s next—I can’t wait to share it with you.
