About Tom Teddy UK

Tom & Teddy was founded in 2011 by Michelle L’Huillier and her husband Jelle de Jong when what seemed like an innocent hunt for matching swim shorts for Father’s Day turned into an unexpected business opportunity. "There was definitely room in the market for an altogether more flattering and versatile swim trunk – one that could be worn all day long, either in or out of the water." - Michelle L'Huillier, Founder at Tom & Teddy. Drawing on an Australian beach lifestyle – the sights and sounds; the natural light and colors of nature - our beachwear, in bold designs and bright shades, will bring a touch of the great Australian outdoors to your day, wherever you are. Our signature materials contain REPREVE®, a performance fibre made from recycled plastic bottles, meaning each piece we produce has a positive environmental impact. In matching styles for men, boys, women and girls, we look to the ocean, lush foliage and brilliant sands along the Australian coastline for our design inspiration. And so, every piece of Tom & Teddy beachwear is sunny and fresh with the Australian sunshine sewn in!Read their story
