Basically Bows & Bowties is a family-owned and operated children’s specialty boutique located in the heart of Scottsdale, near Scottsdale Road and Shea. For over three decades, we have been dedicated to delivering a refined, personalized shopping experience built on exceptional service and thoughtfully curated collections.

We proudly offer an elevated selection of children’s clothing, shoes, accessories, and gifts for boys newborn through size 10 (with expanded sizing continually being added) and girls newborn through tween. As a true one-stop children’s boutique, we focus on understanding our customers’ needs and preferences before they ever step into our store, ensuring every visit feels seamless, special, and tailored. We are especially proud to offer the Southwest’s largest selection of handcrafted hair bows and hair accessories, a hallmark of our brand since its founding.

Our story began in 1989 when founder Rita began handcrafting hair bows to sell at local boutiques and home parties. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a beloved brand known for quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. In 2004 Kirstin, her daughter joined the business and that is when they decided to open a brick and mortar! Kirstin has expanded the vision into a premier children’s boutique serving families throughout the Southwest.

Today, after 21 years serving Scottsdale, a third generation has joined the family business. Kirstin's daughter Katie is now also involved in the daily operations of Basically Bows & Bowties.

At Basically Bows & Bowties, we combine tradition, quality, and personalized service to create a distinctive shopping experience for today’s families.
