BeWooden is a Czech brand that became known for handmade wooden bow ties. A March 2020 interview in the Czech business magazine Czech Crunch describes it as a Beskydy brand and names Ctirad Sara as its founder. The article says the brand had then been on the market for six years, which points to a start around 2014, although no exact founding year is given.
