The Original Ethical Brand Since ’88

Created by Mark Bloom (aka Joe Komodo) – KOMODO began life at an extraordinary moment in our history coinciding with an unlikely trip to Bali. You could say we are a brand born out of a backpack.

It was summer 1988 and the headstrong spirit of British youth culture was taking a leap into the world of Acid House, it was a social revolution and we loved it. We were a young mixed gang of mates, we loved travelling and finding colourful interesting fabrics and twisting them into the English eccentric styles that were so iconic to that hazy mazy movement.

Our motivation was to stand out, to be different. To be fun and to represent the amazing people and their talents we found in Asia, we really loved them. We worked so hard with them, fixing challenges and taking their traditional techniques, twisting them to invent new ones, to bring something fresh to the insatiable market of Great British Street Fashion that was loved around the world!

All our products are made from sustainable fabrics. Our goal is to minimize our environmental impacts and ensure Komodo clothes are made in safe and fair labour conditions
