"Collaborative Creation (co-creation) is not only the future of underwear, it’s the future of how consumers interact with brands as a whole."
What is Co-Creation?
Imagine democracy without the politics.
Traditionally, fast-fashion retailers and designers have been the ones to tell you what to wear and when to wear it. Those days are gone. As a TBô Tribe member, you have the ultimate freedom to decide what your ideal underwear should look and feel like.

The AHA Moment
When Roy and Allan sent out the first TBô survey in 2017, they were nervous.
They had no idea if their network of friends, family and acquaintances would take the time to answer 20 questions about men’s underwear—or worse, if people would think it too personal and maybe even a little nuts. But the guys pushed through and hit the send button.
They couldn’t believe it when they got a response rate of over 40%. Nor could they believe how overwhelmingly positive and—more importantly—constructive the feedback was.
Turns out men had lots of opinions about their underwear, they just hadn’t had the space or invitation to share them. Until then.
It wasn’t long after that Roy and Allan gave this space and invitation a name: They called it “co-creation” and it’s what today’s TBô is all about

I absolutely love being in water. I got my PADI diving certificate at age 12 and upgraded to freediving when I was 27. No surprise that we started working with bamboo materials which uses way less water than other raw materials to grow.

Lyrics from the song “memories” (Maroon 5) inspired me:

Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon’be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy " -

As a single mom with a passion for crime documentaries, I find joy in the thrill of the chase—whether it's solving a mystery or conquering a hiking trail. Running keeps me grounded, but it's coffee and a weekly donut from my favorite coffee shop that truly fuel my adventures.
An outdoors enthusiast and painter at heart, I live life one day at a time, savoring each moment because you only get one shot at it.
