DiBi | Skinny Ties for a Cause

by Caleb on August 5, 2011

DiBi Foundation Ties

While recently perusing through Isle of Man, one of my favorite stores in Chicago, I happened upon a collection of chambray skinny ties that caught my eye. Not only were these ties stylish, but the sign next to them said they benefited the DiBi Foundation. Seeing as how I tend to like products for a cause, naturally I went home and looked it up.

The DiBi Foundation (don’t judge them by their poor website) was founded by Chicagoan Daniel Bruce, and a portion of the proceeds from DiBi Ties go to helping provide teaching kits to rural communities around the world. That’s just a win-win for everyone.

I’m definitely planning on picking one of these up soon. These are going to be great with fall around the corner. You can shop their selection of ties online at KarmaLoop, or see the list of retailers on their site, which of course includes Isle of Man, as well as some other Chicago staples such as Belmont Army Surplus and Riley.
