Bo Broers
Name: Bo Broers
Study: International Lifestyle Studies
Company: 20BO
During her training as a specialist in fashion and tailor-made clothing, Bo Broers discovered her passion; making clothes and specifically menswear. Men find values such as quality, professionalism and comfort very important and this caught her attention. During her studies she was able to fulfill a number of positions in this industry and thus gained work experience as a seamstress and all-round designer. After completing this study she started with International Lifestyle Studies (ILS) at Fontys. ILS has ensured that its view of the world has undergone a transition. As a trend watcher, she is always looking for new signals that clarify the movements in the world and so that the company can respond to the changing world. After learning these skills, she couldn't wait to set up her own company: 20BO ('TwentyBo').
In 2019 she started as a recognized training company and she has already been able to guide many students from different courses. 20BO is a new men's brand in which sustainability is one of the most important pillars. 20BO focuses on a niche, the high segment, and wants to show that a stylish lifestyle can also be done in a sustainable way! She does this by creating a 20BO lifestyle in which handles are offered and sharing this knowledge is central. The company is very transparent and the values of quality, professionalism and comfort are extremely important. 20BO only works with high-quality sustainable materials that it purchases as much as possible in Europe and makes the entire collection in its own studio in Tilburg, which guarantees good working conditions and less CO2 emissions.
The 20BO 'Experience Room' will be opened in January 2021 and Bo is happy to invite you to a luxurious package where experience and transparency are central!
In addition to 20BO, Bo also participates in the organization of Textilium Futura, is an agent for sustainable fabrics (fashion, furniture and shoe fabrics) and starts her own online sustainable fabric store.
Bo takes the feedback obtained to find a sales partner with a fashion background seriously! This is the area where Bo still has a lot to learn; sales, marketing and content creation/social media.
