CAMP WANDAWEGA x TIE BAR’S LONG WEEKEND COLLECTION DEBUTS TODAY

by John Russel Jones


Tie Bar has debuted an exclusive collaboration with Camp Wandawega, a historic lakeside resort in Elkhorn, WI. The Camp Wandawega x Tie Bar Long Weekend Collection celebrates the spirit of camp life and the art of refined dressing.

“Camp Wandawega has become a favorite destination of mine over the years and a place I’ve wanted to collaborate with from the moment I started with this brand. Seeing their rich history and impeccable eye for detail, brought to life through the lens of our accessories, are truly the ultimate fall must-haves. Managing to feel equal parts vintage and modern at the same time,” says Michelle Kohanzo, president of Tie Bar.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Tie Bar to bring this collection to life. It’s been such a dream to create accessories that are both timely and timeless, ones that draw inspiration from the memories of camp across the decades,” says Tereasa Surratt, owner of Camp Wandawega

The 50-piece collection features a range of accessories (retailing from $22- $78), including Made in U.S.A. neckties and an array of accessories, including shoelaces, socks, bow ties, silk pocket squares, bandanas, cufflinks, and unique tie bars, all designed in Chicago. The collection embraces nostalgia by bringing back once-forgotten patterns, mosaics of field and forest artwork, woods-inspired geo prints, and a rich color palette reminiscent of a bygone era. Each design is imbued with a whimsy and polish synonymous with the two brands, ideally suited for any special occasion. The limited-edition capsule is only available while supplies last and exclusively online and in the Tie Bar Chicago store beginning today.

The two brands will celebrate the launch with an in-store party on Thursday, September 5th, at The Tie Bar’s Flagship Store at 918 W Armitage in Chicago, IL. Guests are invited to enjoy complimentary bites and drinks while they shop the new collection. Tie Bar will also host an in-store pop-up of Wandawega’s iconic camp store, offering Chicagoans a chance to snag many of the resort’s popular collectibles and collaborations.
