In the ever-evolving world of fashion, where haute couture meets pure whimsy, Rommy de Bommy is in a league of her own. If you’ve ever dreamed of carrying a croissant on your arm or accessorizing with a bowtie that looks like a perfectly iced donut (which, honestly, why wouldn’t you?), then welcome to the deliciously surreal world of Rommy de Bommy.
Anyone who knows me knows I have a deep appreciation for high fashion with a side of cute, so naturally, I’m obsessed. Rommy’s handcrafted, food-inspired wearable art is the ultimate blend of playfulness and precision—think handbags that could be mistaken for actual pastries and accessories so detailed they’ll have you doing a double take.
Rommy is a one-woman creative powerhouse, sculpting each piece entirely by hand. No shortcuts, no mass production—just pure, unfiltered craftsmanship. Using different types of clay, she painstakingly shapes, paints, and perfects every detail, ensuring that every croissant, candy bar, and slice of cake looks just as delectable as the real deal. And honestly? That kind of dedication is rare in an era of fast fashion, which is why Rommy’s work feels so special.
ROMMY (IS) DE BOMMY
“Creating food purses from patterned fabrics felt too easy—I WANted to push the boundaries of what was possible”
Originally from Harlingen, Netherlands, she launched her brand in 2015 after studying product design—but the traditional academic path didn’t quite fit. “I’ve never been one to follow mainstream trends,” she says. “Creating food purses from patterned fabrics felt too easy—I wanted to push the boundaries of what was possible.” And push she did. Instead of just printing croissants on a tote bag like any regular fashion brand might, Rommy took it a step further—sculpting hyper-realistic, three-dimensional accessories that look like they were plucked straight from a patisserie display.
Her process is as intricate as her designs, often taking weeks to complete a single piece. There are no sketches—just reference images and raw talent. Between sculpting, painting, photography, social media, and shipping, she does it all herself. It’s not just a business; it’s a labor of love. “I don’t see this as work—I absolutely love what I do,” she shares.
“I DON’t see this as work—i absolutely love what i do”
With an ever-flowing stream of ideas, she releases two to three new designs each week, each one as playful and unexpected as the last. And that’s exactly what makes her work so exciting—she challenges the idea of what fashion should be and injects a sense of humor into an industry that often takes itself way too seriously.
So, if you’re into accessories that turn heads, spark conversations, and make you crave a snack every time you glance down at your bag, Rommy de Bommy is your girl. You can catch a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process (and maybe even spot your next statement piece) over on Instagram and TikTok. 🍔🍪🍕🥐💖
