What’s With the Fox?

Thomas the fox is inspired by an era of formality and polish—when tweed jackets and tailored clothing marked the moment. The silhouette nods to that tradition, but this fox isn’t frozen in it: mid-stride, eyes lifted, always moving forward.

Alert and intentional, Thomas balances restraint with confidence—knowing when to move quietly and when to be seen. Like the pieces we make, the fox carries history without being weighed down by it—a reminder that dressing well isn’t about standing still, but about stepping out with purpose.

What does Thomas Tweed do?

Thomas Tweed designs tote bags, messenger bags, and accessories crafted from a thoughtful mix of new, vintage, and upcycled materials—including reclaimed suit jackets and sports coats. We also curate select vintage accessories—lapel pins, brooches, pocket squares, and other finishing touches—chosen for character and charm.

Everything we make or select is meant to feel intentional, expressive, and ready to go out.

How did it begin?

Thomas Tweed began with a search.

After graduating design school, founder Andrew Antons set out to find an every-day bag that felt tailored, textural, and built to last. When the right one couldn’t be found, he began crafting his own.

The earliest designs were made from vintage sports coats in classic materials like tweed, herringbone, and houndstooth—fabrics with stories already woven in. What began as an experiment in upcycling grew into a philosophy: blend classic character with modern function.

The materials may evolve, but the intention remains the same—thoughtful construction, enduring texture, and pieces designed to carry both essentials and personality.
