About us

We’re Julie and Funso Ojo, the husband-and-wife team behind Rose Ojo.

Rose Ojo is more than just a name; it’s a story. “Rose” comes from Julie’s grandmother, a wonderful woman who introduced the love for sewing and all things handmade to Julie. And “Ojo,” that’s our family name.

Julie is the creative mind behind Rose Ojo. With a degree in fashion and a natural talent for design, she’s the one who brings our unique upcycled creations to life. Funso, when he’s not busy on the football field, handles the marketing side of things. He’s played professionally in the UK, Netherlands, and Belgium, and now he’s bringing that same energy and passion to our business.

We specialise in upcycling shirts – giving them a second life as cool, wearable pieces. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan, a supporter of another sport, or just someone who appreciates unique and sustainable fashion, we’ve got you covered. We can transform almost anything into something you can wear year-round.

But Rose Ojo is about more than just sports. We’re passionate about the environment and reducing waste. Upcycling is at the heart of what we do, and we believe in creating beautiful, functional items that are also kind to the planet. We’re both committed to a plant-based diet and love spending time outdoors, whether we’re hiking or walking our lovely dog Marley in nature or enjoying a round of golf. These values – sustainability, creativity, and a love for the outdoors – are woven into everything we do.

We’re a small, family business, and we truly appreciate every single customer. We love connecting with our community and creating pieces that people love. So, whether you’re a friend, a family member, or a fellow sports fan, welcome to the Rose Ojo family!

Thank you for being here,

Julie & Funso
