About us

Our story starts with me and my family. I’m Ian and like many people I’ve been working in retail for a long time (longer than I want to admit) and the facts are there for us all to see, retail is changing. In my eyes it’s changing for the good, we’re all shopping more online, opening up a much bigger shopping world and we’re all more conscious of the impact we have on the world around us.

 

I’ve been thinking about this and what it means for my career for a long time. Then along came the 2020 lockdown, I’ve never had so much time to think. But most importantly I’ve never had so much time to enjoy my life, my gorgeous children and my wife and the exceptionally wonderful world around us.

 

With a little encouragement from the wife (and help! if I don’t say that I’ll be in trouble) I decided now was the time to take the leap. I decided to throw myself into something I was passionate about, clothing for the weekend and for enjoying those perfect moments exploring the world with the ones you love.

 

So, Thorne Parc was born…

 

As you will see we’ve started small, but we have BIG dreams. We want to expand our range and produce more items that you’ll love all the while ensuring that we are having the smallest impact on the world as possible.

 

All that’s left for me to say is I hope you love what we’ve done and thanks for stopping by.
