One young entrepreneur saw a pain in the world of men’s fashion: a lack of personal style and flair, specifically in the area of bowties. He decided to match his passion with the pain he saw, starting his own business to fill that gap. A nine-year-old native of Memphis, Tennesse, Moziah Bridges set out to create bowties with handcrafted, intentional style. Upon not being able to find a suitable bowtie for himself and realizing that many other style-conscious men struggled with the same problem, “Mo’s Bows” was born. The founder developed his sewing skills to make the ties from his grandmother’s scrap materials. Creative, determined, and passionate about his work, Moziah eventually hired tailors to handle the manual side of the business while he focused on the creative designs.
A pivotal moment in “Mo’s Bows” occurred when Moziah appeared on the hit entrepreneurial show, “Shark Tank.” The show gave “Mo’s Bows” great publicity and helped Moziah learn how to take his business to the next level. The company has sold almost $1,000,000 worth of handmade bowties and accessories (including a personal bowtie designed for Barack Obama). Mo’s products are carried by such noteworthy brands as Cole Haan, Bloomingdale’s, and Neiman Marcus. His company also supplies bow and neckties for the entire NBA.
Mo Bridges took his passion for creative, handcrafted style, fit it into the market’s gap, and built a large, successful, and impactful enterprise from the ground up. You can visit Mo’s business here.

I really enjoyed hearing Moziah Bridges story. I can personally relate to having trouble finding a nice quality bowtie that is also stylish. It’s really inspirational to see Moziah at just the age of 9 see and problem and developed a solution. It’s also really cool that now he supplies bowties for the NBA. That’s got to be an awesome experience for him. Moziah Bridges uses his creativity to make beautiful designs in Mo’s Bows. This is a great story of a young entrepreneur making an impact.
