panel. “We have seen a trend towards reflective products in retail

and wanted to add this trend into our marketplace,” says Katie. The

reflective panel also has a mesh overlay – indeed, out of the 10 new

Tombo products for next year, three of the garments and two of the

bags have mesh panels. “We feel the mesh adds to the design fea-

tures as well as enhancing comfort next to the skin,” Katie adds.

The top’s other features include thumbholes, tear-out label, nylon

1/4 zip, and self-fabric collar. It is currently available in black and grey

marl, although Katie adds that the brand is “constantly looking at up-

and-coming colour trends to enhance our product range.”

In terms of embellishment, Tombo recommends that the TL555 is

best suited to embroidery, print or reflective decorations.

n January 2017, there will be 10 new products in the Tombo

brochure, the design of which the brand notes has been driven by

“function, fashion, fit and innovation”. Ranging from women’s

styles to accessories, the new styles include the 1/4 Zip Top With

Reflective Panels (TL555)

This striking new zip top, which is made from 180 gsm, 100%

polyester French terry, has received a great response from the main

distributors and selected customers, reports Tombo’s managing direc-

tor Katie Stewart. “We feel the design highlights the versatility of the

garment. It can be used for multiple activities – from activewear to

urban streetwear. The TL555 is a great athleisurewear piece that looks

good in the gym or as an urbanwear product.”

There is a strong fashion influence to all of the new Tombo gar-

ments for 2017, which is something customers and distributors have

asked for, explains Katie. The brand also keeps a close eye on retail

market trends, ensuring all the new garments have the right appeal.

The new 1/4 zip top is a unisex product that is available in sizes XS-

2XL, making it accessible to everyone. “The design of the garment

also speaks to that,” Katie comments.

One of the key features of the new top is the reflective shoulder
