Tara Karels, owner of Strands by TK
The person behind the brand

Meet Tara

When a moment matters enough to commemorate, the details matter too. Tara Karels has spent over three decades as a labor and delivery nurse — showing up, paying attention to detail, and getting things right when it matters most. She brings that same care to every order that comes through Strands by TK.

This isn't a big production shop. It's one person who knows her customers by name, remembers what your team ordered last year, and treats a bowling league jersey with the same attention as a 94-piece hospital order.

"I make things people are proud to wear."
Simple, start to finish
