About Us

Thomas Bates has been making fine accessories for over 25 years.  Our brand has been available since 1989.

Many folks remember Thomas' fun belts and buckles from the early days.  Today, in addition to lots of cool belts, we produce an array of women’s accessories, sandals, our exclusive Opnnr® collection and pet products.  There is a bit of something for everyone.

We manufacture most of our products in either our own US factory, or our factory in China.   As a small company we know the responsibility of being sure all our workers are treated fairly.  We pay competitive wages that ensure a reasonable quality of life.  While we cannot be everything to everyone, the bottom line is we care and do everything possible to be a responsible partner in the manufacturing process.

Thank you for considering our products.  We look forward to hearing from you.
