Discover Our Expertise at Tcboo®

At Tcboo, we believe that exceptional production begins with a talented and dedicated team. That is exactly what we have put together. We are not talking just the Managing Directors of this collaboration, but the staff each company employs. By maintaining each company as a distinct entity, we ensure an uninterrupted production flow that allows us to consistently meet our quality objectives. Each member of the team brings their own unique skillset and background expertise. Everyone's contribution goes toward our collective mission of delivering quality, British-made goods. It's their talent and passion that will fuel our innovation and creativity, allowing Tcboo to set a standard most competitors do not achieve. As a group of small companies we feel we can react faster than larger ones, retaining that family feel (ethos).

Due to the fabric's nature and graphic design, every single band is hand cut, then passed on to the seamstress for overlocking. It's not all about automation. Though we need some of that to remain competitive. It's a yearning to keep old-fashioned trades alive in an uncertain world.

Skill Set

The Backbone of Tcboo

Our team is a tapestry of talent, with professionals who excel in specialised roles within the garment industry. From a skilled seamstress or cutter, to an innovative designer, each member plays a crucial role in the quality and creativity that goes into every piece we produce.

Graphic Designs

Where Creativity Meets Craftsmanship

At the heart of Tcboo is our design team, who are not just creators. We draw on a wealth of knowledge and experience to craft graphic designs that reflect the unique essence of Britishness. While our manufacturers push boundaries, embracing the new designs.

Quality Assurance

Upholding Standards at Every Step

Quality is non-negotiable for us at Tcboo. We meticulously oversee every phase of production to ensure that each Band meets our rigorous standards. It’s this relentless pursuit of excellence that pushes us to aim for the top of British production. We are in control from yarn to shipping.

Sustainability Commitment

Crafting with Care for Our Planet

We are committed to sustainable practices that respect both our craft and the environment. Our team continually seeks innovative ways to reduce waste and maximise efficiency, ensuring that every Band we produce is not only beautiful but sustainable.  From creation to use and eventually reuse, our products are designed to contribute to the circular economy. 

British Manufacturing Survival

Can 3 Individual Businesses Beat the odds

That’s a very good question. It's one that with innovative ideas, an understanding of our marketplace, a wealth of knowledge in our specialist area, we can push boundaries without compromising on quality. With savings against normal production methods from the start (following a meeting to discuss what new ideas to production can be brought to the table to make this UK based). Removing shipping, tariffs and duty costs from the Far East is a game changer. We are now able to produce here in UK, competitively and within the ballpark. So why create so much CO2 shipping it all that distance? What’s more, we're flexible, if we have to alter production schedules for an alternative design, due to demand, so be it. We can swap production within 12-24 hours, faster if the designs approved. Our state of the art printing machines, just need a reprogramming. Avoiding (as is the case with other online stores) flying it in.  Another notch on the belt, retaining low CO2 levels.

 

Not Just a Sun-Lounger Band

Can it be a design classic

Depending on your choice of graphic design, the band can tell a lot about personal choice. No matter what you choose, let it be about how you want to be seen, or how you feel or express yourself.
