We at Billingsley Ties believe in preserving our planet for the next generation and giving back to those less fortunate. While we retain any profits made from the sales of our ties, we do our small part by recycling all of the scrap silk and making clothes for charitable organizations around the world. While we can't yet contribute large sums of money, this is our way of making a difference in the lives of others.
