What is Michaelis and where is it from?

Michaelis is a Dutch accessories brand founded in Rotterdam in 1934 by Heinz Michaelis, originally specialising in ties.

What does Michaelis make?

Michaelis makes silk ties, bow ties, cufflinks and leather belts, focused on finishing touches for a formal or smart casual outfit.

Where can I buy Michaelis in the UK?

Baks Menswear stocks Michaelis in-store in Westbourne, Bournemouth, and online with UK delivery.

What length are Michaelis ties?

Michaelis ties come in a standard adult length. Ask in-store if you'd like advice on tying or matching a tie to an outfit.

How do I care for a silk tie?

Never wash or iron directly on silk — hang the tie to let creases drop out naturally, and have it dry cleaned only if genuinely necessary.

Michaelis

Michaelis has been making ties in Rotterdam since 1934, when Heinz Michaelis started the family business. At Baks Menswear in Bournemouth, we stock Michaelis silk ties, cufflinks and belts.

We stock Michaelis because ties are where the brand started, not a bolt-on accessory line, and that focus still shows in the finish and pattern range.

The range covers silk ties, bow ties, cufflinks and leather belts, in classic and contemporary patterns. Ties come in standard length; belts run by waist size.

Michaelis is a Dutch family business, still trading on ties nearly a century after Heinz Michaelis founded the company in Rotterdam.

If you want an accessory brand that started with the thing you're actually buying, this is where to look.
