Tom’s prestigious handmade eyewear products are realized with high quality materials, like natural horn, pure titanium and cotton acetate. Since the beginning, the production activity was offshored in a owned plant in China, because of the lower production costs. However, in 2017, the designer decided to relocalise the eyewear manufacturing in a new plant in Brentford (United Kingdom). Among the declared motivations, the opportunity to leverage on the "made in UK", and the reduction of the costs gap.
