Co-founder Owner @Neon Leo

Saffron Walden, GB

Neon Leo is a local rental and preloved fashion store located on Market Row, in Saffron Walden. Their mission is to help women elevate their style through sustainable fashion choices. When you enter their store, you\'ll be greeted by a beautiful selection of trend-led clothing (from daily basics to exceptional event wear). Not to mention the sequins, glitter balls, curated art collection and much more.Customers can rent clothing and unlike other rental platforms, Neon Leo is starting as an Essex and Cambridgeshire communal wardrobe where customers can try on items at their Saffron Walden store before renting them. Aside from renting clothes, Mandy and Abi also provide a curated edit of preloved clothing, shoes, and accessories in an inclusive size range (4-22) available for purchase. They also offer one-to-one styling advice and support in a welcoming and positive environment. Visiting the store is something any fashion lover would want to experience.The idea for Neon Leo came about in the summer of 2022, created and founded by Mandy Weetch and Abi North. It was born out of their longing and need for local, sustainable fashion rentals and exceptional preloved clothing. After launching in March 2023 to a roaring success, the need for a physical shop became apparent, and after an extensive search, Neon Leo at No 7 Market Row was born.\"We want to build a community that encourages female empowerment through slow fashion. Most importantly, Neon Leo is about driving people to make sustainable fashion choices. Buying an outfit for a party or wedding that you only wear once generates carbon emissions equal to driving to Manchester and back in a diesel car. Fast fashion can not continue as it is, and we are passionate about being part of the solution not the problem. We want people to realise that you can be just as fabulous shopping slow and sustainably.“Neon Leo is here to elevate your closet and bring you fabulous pre-loved fashion to rent or buy.
