Tie and Belt Case

At some point, you have too many Ties and Belts which outgrow the space between your socks and undies. Ever thought to yourself….gee I would really like to organise my ties and belts better?

It fits 12 ties in the top and 12 belts below (you may be able to fit ties in the bottom drawer as well dependent upon thickness).

malebox – always a step ahead for men’s gifts!
