QUALITY:

- all rhinestones are high quality Austrian crystals which sparkle fantastically

- top quality Gutermann thread (from Germany) is used for extra durability

- many ribbons are imported from New York and Europe giving bows a unique flair

- bows are handmade as orders are received and elastics are sewn on at the last step so they are 100% fresh

- all bows are carefully shaped and professionally stiffened as orders are received
  (note: these are not groomer bows but rather professionally stiffened bows)

- you do not receive any "ready-made" bows. Once your order is received, fresh ribbon(s), embellishment(s),
  elastic(s) and/or barrette(s) are selected and your order is started from scratch.

- you always receive 100% newly made bows, each one carefully and specifically made for your order -
  no samples, no old bows or on-hand stock, no refurbished returns.

- all bows are created with attention to detail and are checked over prior to packaging for any imperfections

- all bows are quality produced in my bow studio which is a non-smoking environment used exclusively for and by BowBiz

- while colors are displayed and described as accurately as possible, there may be slight color variations depending on lighting, your monitor or ribbon batch. If there is a variation, it would certainly be minimal.

- all bows are created by myself only, no delegating the job to others with less experience, so you are guaranteed
  to always receive the same, consistent top quality


SAFETY & CONSTRUCTION:

- absolutely no glue is used to secure bow embellishments and adornments

- all embellishments & bow adornments are securely and firmly attached by hand stitching with top quality thread

- no wires in ribbons, ribbon edging or otherwise used for attachments

- no loose glitter (which could shake off & damage furbaby's eyes)

- no fur or feathers (which could damage furbaby's eyes or be ingested)

- bows are single loop, often created with multiple overlays and additional inner lining for extra durability and beauty

- all bows have 2 durable bands securely stitched to the backs. French Barrettes, Alligator Clips, Plastic Barrettes and Alligator Clips with GripZie are available for a small additional fee. Visit the Barrettes/Clips category for details.

- elastics are securely sewn on just prior to shipping, so they are 'fresh'

- bow edges are treated to prevent fraying

- bow loops are carefully shaped and formed before stiffening and may feature an inner lining to strengthen the bow

- professional non-toxic bow stiffener is used (certified non-toxic by the Art and Creative Materials Institute)

- two coats of bow stiffener are applied by hand via brush to reach all areas of bow. This creates a very stiff and
  more durable bow (unlike spray-on stiffeners which are faster to apply but may not create a bow as durable).

- bows are packaged with great care and all precautions are taken to ensure your bows arrive in excellent condition & uncrushed
