ABOUT
[ T O M - O ]

TOM-O is a small sustainable fashion brand built on one simple idea... keeping clothes in circulation and out of landfill.

​

Every piece starts with something that already exists. Through repair, reworking and personalisation, we collaborate closely with our customers to create bespoke garments that are completely unique!

Since launching, TOM-O we've been part of some incredible opportunities and experiences. From showing our work at London Fashion Week, to poppin' up in Selfridges and Westfield, being featured in ELLE, and opening my own shop and studio in Leeds Corn Exchange.

​

Along the way TOM-O has hosted large-scale workshops and ran community / sustainability projects. We have worked with Happy Place Festival, Lost Village, Festival Republic. We have received awards and support from Sheffield Hallam University, Tees Valley Combined Authority and Smart Works and collaborated with local creatives and organisations and most importantly worked with incredible customers to create one off TOM-O pieces, from ready to wear to catwalk, the everyday to bridal wear. 

​

At the start of 2024, after two amazing years, TOM-O moved out of the studio at Leeds Corn Exchange and began a new chapter.

​

This next phase is all about continuing to create TOM-O garments, expanding workshops and sewing classes in the North East, and working on exciting projects focused on recycling textiles, collaborating with brands and building the community we already have.

We hope year 5 of TOM-O is our best yet!
