About Glass Onion

For over 15 years, we’ve been passionate about what we do. We started out back in 2005 with our Founder, John, selling vintage clothing out of his Grandma’s coal shed.  Today, things look a little different - We have customers all over the world, we have a store in Nottingham and Sheffield, and we wholesale vintage clothing to the high street.

Our business is built on sustainability - saving tonnes of clothing from landfill and remanufacturing older clothing into something new - and our Vision and Values reflect that.

So, if you’re up for a new challenge, come and join Glass Onion and see what you can achieve.
