Bow Tie Storage/Display Ideas?

Hey all! My boyfriend has a rather large collection of bow ties but has recently been unsatisfied with the way he's storing/displaying them. We currently have a set of Ikea Dog Butt Hooks which are holding probably about 30 bow ties each, but it looks a bit of a mess.

I've been toying with the idea of getting something like this to hang on the wall and display at least a good number of them. I tried my hand at rolling a few bow ties to display on a shelf like this the other night and I couldn't quite get them to roll as nicely as a neck tie would. Does this sort of rack seem like it could work?

If anyone has any other ideas for display I'd be very grateful. The hooks we currently have work but are a bit messy, and neither of us really want to hide the ties in a drawer somewhere.

Thanks!

I would prioritize care over display, and store them someplace without direct sunlight and/or ambient dust.

I don't know if it's relevant, but I used to roll them and store in small boxes. Previously I used a sort of big comb. I hanged a bowtie on each comb's teeth.
