PROXY GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDS VOTE FOR TANDY BRANDS NOMINEES

ARLINGTON, TX, October 12, 2007 — Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq GM:TBAC) today announced that PROXY Governance, Inc., a leading independent voting advisory service, has recommended that Tandy Brands stockholders vote FOR Tandy Brands’ incumbent directors at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 29, 2007. To follow PROXY Governance’s recommendation, Tandy Brands stockholders should vote FOR Tandy Brands’ incumbent directors on the Company’s WHITE proxy card TODAY.

In its recommendation, PROXY Governance noted the following:

• “We believe that a comparison of the management and dissident nominees argues strongly in support of management. ... With no experience in the accessories or retail industry, and no experience in running any business other than an investment fund, we believe [the dissident nominees] were chosen merely because they best represented Golconda’s interests, rather than because of any ability to represent all shareholders.”

• “We do not see the dissident’s slate as particularly well qualified for [the role of “monitor”] given (1) the dissidents interests, which potentially conflict with those of other shareholders, and (2) the close ties of the dissident’s slate to the dissident shareholder.”

• “PROXY Governance believes that the two directors nominated by management (C. Nicholas and W. Rosier) offer more experience and knowledge of the company’s operations, and we support them over the dissident nominees.”

Tandy Brands continues to urge all stockholders to vote for Tandy Brands’ directors, Colombe Nicholas and W. Grady Rosier, on the WHITE proxy card. The vote of Tandy Brands’ stockholders is extremely important — no matter how many shares Tandy Brands stockholders own. Stockholders are encouraged to vote by Internet and phone by following the instructions on their WHITE proxy card.

If Tandy Brands stockholders have any questions about how to vote their shares or if they need assistance in voting their shares, please contact Tandy Brands’ proxy solicitor, Georgeson, Inc. toll free at 888-605-7570. Tandy Brands’ Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held on Monday, October 29, 2007 at 10:00 a.m., Central time, at the Hilton Arlington, 2401 East Lamar Blvd., Arlington, Texas 76006. Stockholders of record as of September 19, 2007 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.
