An oversized fabric bow in hunter green and cream mini gingham, 30 inches from the top of the loop to the ends of the ties, handwoven from 100% cotton.

It can go outside on a covered front door, with a caveat worth saying plainly: this is undyed-edge cotton, not outdoor ribbon. Under an overhang or a porch roof it will hold its color through a season. In direct rain or full sun it will fade and the ties will lose their body, so a sheltered door or an interior banister is where it does best.

Gingham is the reason this works at all. A solid green bow is a Christmas bow and nothing else; the small check reads a little country, a little preppy, and stays up long after the tree comes down.

Perfect for: Christmas trees and wreaths, front doors, banisters and mantels, garlands, chair backs, and oversized gift wrapping.
