I'm not a professional developer, but I've used computers for several
decades now. Either you or the two management teams are asking the wrong
question. Any widget set can be used to create high quality GUIs, or really
crappy ones.
It's similar to asking if a high quality house can be built only with a
Stanley framing hammer, or could you use the Home Depot brand framing hammer
instead?
I strongly recommend that you take a look at the literature on UI design,
then get the management teams to tell you want the expect in a "high
quality" UI, and you'll deliver it using whatever widget set you choose.
These widget sets are tools, a means to an end. Not ends in themselves
(except for folks like Robin who make a nice living from them.)
Those who are more concerned with the tools used to produce a product
rather than the product themselves can be very difficult to work for. Or
with.
Good luck!

Rich, though the word “design” was used (perhaps suggesting the arrangement of the functional widgets and how they work in the interface), could it be that the OP’s management team’s also have look and feel in mind? If that is the case, I think an argument can be made that a widget toolkit like Tkinter is less able (unable?) to provide the professional “slick” look and feel they might want. (I really know not of what I speak, so I may be selling Tkinter short here, just basing it on what I’ve read in the past).
