Hom

[Torchwatch]

I first met HOM in a local House of Fraser department store. (Harrods Group), they sold cotton underwear thongs.
There used to be a swimwear store at Sandbanks, near Bournemouth on the way to the ferry to Studland. I bought a red HOM bikini there but it got stolen in a burglary. They stole my Speedo bag.
I later bought yellow and metallic pewter bikinis from the HOM shop at Lakeside shopping centre.
All three suits were in Lycra. I dug out and tried on the two HOM bikinis I still have, photos below. This is what HOM made in the 80's and 90's.

Around the millennium they went over to big underwear and swimwear and their shop at Lakeside closed.
HOM is French and can still be bought on their French website. (last time I looked).
Sorry photos are in puzzle mode but it is an easy way of getting them here.
