Freedom From Doubt launches on One-Offs Yippee

Local fashion e-retailer One-Offs Yippee! offers a legion of locally-designed goods - all of which are one of a kind. The latest designer to join the ranks, hot on the heels of Danielle Everine, is neckwear line Freedom From Doubt. The handiwork of Jared Zachary, the line of bowties are statement-making to say the least. Best of all, each in this series are entirely unique. Pictured below, the ties are $60 a pop and available now at one-offsyippee.com.
