How Quentino came to be - a brand that was born out of need, grows with heart and stands up for itself

We remember that moment like we do today. Our friends' wedding was around the corner and everything was perfectly prepared - except for one detail. Finding decent braces and a bow tie in the right shade was surprisingly harder than we expected. When we did find something, the quality didn't match our expectations. So we thought, " What if we did it ourselves - better?"

And we did.

In 2013, Quentino was founded - a Czech brand that has been focusing on stylish accessories for men and boys since the beginning. Not braces that fall off after an hour. Not bow ties that only look pretty in a photo. But real, handmade pieces that combine quality, style and honest work.

We do it differently. And we did it first.

We were the first to offer matching sets of braces and bow ties. While others are trying to emulate us today, we're moving on - and with a head start. Our braces are not just a stylish accessory, but an honestly tailored piece that excels in comfort, durability and precision craftsmanship. Like the bow tie, they are made by hand and from quality materials - something that is not commonplace with competitors.

When you buy a set from us, you're not just buying two things. You're buying a match. Style. Confidence that everything will fit - and that it will work.

And that it will look great.

From newborns to grooms

When our son was born in 2018, we naturally came up with another idea - MINI bow ties. The first one was made for him so we could match him with his dad at the wedding. Today we have a wide range of MINI variants for the littlest gentlemen. Because style is not a matter of age, but of attitude.

Whether you're looking for accessories for a baby, a schoolchild or a groom, you'll find it all here. And if not? We'll make it for you.

Growth is not about quantity, it's about responsibility

Since we started, we are still learning. Every new customer, every request, every feedback takes us further. We strive to find the best way through the wide range of options - one that is functional, aesthetic and fair.

That is why we have completely redesigned and modernized our e-shop several times. Not because we have to, but because we want to. We want you to feel as comfortable on our site as when you wear our accessories. Clearly, simply, with pleasure.

But our priorities have always been clear - quality of service, products, advice and overall experience. And so, unlike many, we have long prioritised these values over our social media presence. We didn't just want to look good. We wanted to do it really well.

Maybe we lost some of the attention, maybe we underestimated it. But we never went down the road of glitz without substance. We always offer only what we would choose for ourselves and our loved ones - without compromise, with heart.

Nowadays, we know that nowadays we also need to look good. And so here too we make up for what we have neglected - but never at the cost of authenticity. We want to grow, but we don't want to change.

When you say Quentino

Today we have more than 2,000 products in stock - and counting. From classic pieces to bold colours, modern patterns or cheerful socks. Each one matches the others, each one is well thought out. Whatever you choose, you can be sure it will play well together.

We've personally selected, tested and fine-tuned everything you see, and we're always asking, " Would we wear this? "

A family brand with soul. Not a production line.

Quentino is not a giant corporation. We're people who know you by name. When you write to us, David or Petra will answer - no robot, no anonymous operator. When you need advice, matching accessories, choosing a shade or making something bespoke, we're here for you.

We don't pride ourselves on having the cheapest items. We pride ourselves on having the best.

Fast delivery, a personal touch and a sincere attention to every detail - these are not platitudes. This is our everyday standard.

Thank you for having us there with you.

Every order we send means something more to us. We know the feeling of holding a package in your hand that's meant to be part of something important - a wedding, a party, a family photo shoot or just a day you want to look great. And that's why we put a little bit of ourselves in every package.

Quentino. A style that has a story. And you are part of it.

Mom

Petra is a loving mum who manages the accounts, communicates with customers, advises on selections and carefully prepares orders. Together with David, she designs new products - and when needed, gently reminds him that it's time to get to work.

Dad

David is in charge of the catalogue, taking photos of all the products, answering messages and packing orders. And when he's not photographing products, he's posing - with his son - as a model for Quentino. Multitasking at its best.

Son

The youngest member of the team and our little-big inspiration. Thanks to him the children's bow ties were created and he is their biggest ambassador. He likes to take pictures of himself with his bow tie or scrunchies (sometimes), he loves raspberries as much as playing on his tablet or running around the garden. He has style in the palm of his hand - and a smile always at hand.
