In our 5-Star Buys series we spotlight popular Etsy items that recently struck a chord with shoppers—and let their rave reviews do the talking.
When it comes to gift shopping for the gents in your life, there’s nothing like some fashion-forward flair to help them stand out in a sea of suits—and this bold African wax-print necktie from GabeJade is sure to do the trick. The perfect present for dapper dads, stylish main squeezes, or your always-fly best man, the bright, botanical design by Texas-based designer Ade Ogbomo will take them from festive winter celebrations to spring weddings (and plenty of meetings and dinner dates in between). Ade crafts each necktie to order in her Dallas studio using traditional African Ankara fabric, in a slim-cut silhouette that’s earned the stamp of approval from customers around the world. Looking to take your gifting game up a notch? Follow the lead of the buyer below and add a matching pocket square or lapel pin to the package.

Rave review: Take it from one satisfied shopper
“It was a beautiful tie/pocket square combo—super stylish and they folded my pocket square like in the picture, which was a nice touch. I would definitely order again in the future!” — AS
Seller spotlight: Meet Ade Ogbomo of GabeJade
“I use Ankara fabric because I’m Nigerian, and I want to share my culture with the world through my designs. The most common response we receive from our customers is that the tie is well-made and that people like the patterns and color combinations we offer. This item makes a great gift because it’s unique and eye-catching. You won’t step out of your house wearing it and then see someone else in it, too.” — Ade Ogbomo
