About Neon Leo & Pre-loved

Neon Leo is a multi-award-winning local buy-or-rent designer and preloved fashion store founded by Mandy Weetch & Abigail North in 2023. Neon Leo is now owned & run by Mandy Weetch and is located at 7 Market Row, Saffron Walden. 

Our mission is to help women elevate their style through sustainable fashion choices. When you enter their store, you'll be greeted with a beautiful selection of clothing (from daily basics to exceptional event wear), sequins, glitter balls, amazing art and much more.

Customers can buy or rent clothing from Celia B, Queens Of Archive, Esthè, Woo Woo Boutique, Vintage designer or find a preloved treat from Me&Em, Rixo or Ganni.

Unlike other rental platforms, Neon Leo is a communal wardrobe where customers can try on items at their Saffron Walden store before renting them. Aside from buying or renting beautiful clothes, Neon Leo also provides an on-trend curated edit of preloved clothing, shoes, and accessories available for purchase. They also offer one-to-one styling advice and support in a welcoming and positive environment. Visiting the store is something any fashion lover will want to experience.

The idea for Neon Leo came about in the summer of 2022, and the company was created and founded by Mandy Weetch and Abi North. It was born out of their longing and need for local, sustainable fashion options and exceptional preloved clothing. After launching in March 2023 to a roaring success, the need for a physical shop became apparent, and after an extensive search, their flagship store, Neon Leo at No 7 Market Row, was born.

"We wanted to build a community that encourages female empowerment through slow fashion. But, more importantly, Neon Leo is also about driving people to make sustainable fashion choices. Buying an outfit for a party or wedding that you only wear once generates carbon emissions equal to driving to Manchester and back in a diesel car. Fast fashion can not continue as it is, and we are passionate about being part of the change! We want people to realise that you can be just as fabulous shopping slow and sustainably. We're encouraging women to invest in the idea that you can borrow, buy and share fabulous clothes at an affordable price.” 

Neon Leo is a place where fashion is fun. It's a safe space for women of all shapes and sizes, where they can feel welcomed and find incredible treasures, from amazing party dresses and Preloved wardrobe staples to statement heels or beautiful jewellery.

Visiting Neon Leo is like going out with your BFFs for sparkles and champers. You’ll have the time of your life! The environment is so welcoming and enticing, so be sure to visit them soon. Just don't expect to leave empty-handed! 

Neon Leo stocks a range of brands to buy or rent, from amazing pre-loved high-street pieces to high-end independent designers, including Queens of Archive, Celia B, Scream Pretty, Woo Woo Boutique and Esthè. Rentals start at £25 per weekend.

Neon Leo is here to elevate your closet and bring you fabulous pre-loved fashion to rent or buy.
