"I'm on a mission to make antiques modern, sexy, profitable and fun!"

Toma Clark Haines

CEO of The Antiques Diva & CO

Ciao – I´m Toma. I am the CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co. I am a creative who has learned through trial and error how to get s#t done. I am an entrepreneur, a writer, a speaker, a jewelry and furniture designer as well as the host of the reality TV show Republic of Toma. Most of all, I am a dreamer and I’ve learned how to make dreams a reality. Let me tell you how we at The Antiques Diva & Co can help you.
Antiques were my hobby. I turned my passion into profits when I built a career in my suitcase so I could travel the world (and help others do the same). I started AD&Co in 2008.  It all began with a tongue in cheek joke. I didn’t know then that this joke was going to change my life. (And yours).

One day in 2000 I was at the Paris Flea Market with a friend. At the exact moment my friend said “I’ll take it” I quipped, “That’s why they call me The Antiques Diva.” 

That joke became a blog.
The blog became a business.
And that business became a leader in the antiques industry.

With a mobile phone and the help of friends I am proud to have created an empire – with the help of my team –  that operates in 16 countries and has changed peoples lives. 
At The Antiques Diva & Co we are now the World’s Largest Antiques Touring company.
“Changed peoples lives??” Quelle Drama! This is the Business of Antiques! It’s not Brain Surgery.” We may not be solving world hunger but we are helping people find fulfillment by getting paid to do what they love.
We help entrepreneurs source antiques overseas and create profitable antiques businesses. 
Through our antique buying tours, our 1 on 1 business coaching for antique dealers, our online Antique Dealer Training Program and our in person Antiques Dealer Educational Retreats – We help people make dreams a reality.

Here are a few ways we might be able to help you:

  • Do you want to know how to open an antiques store? We will give you the roadmap teaching you how to start your antiques business. You wouldn’t take a road trip without consulting a map- so why start an antiques business without consulting me? Book a free 1 hour consultation
  • Do you want to know how – and where  – to buy antiques in Europe and ship them home? Are you curious about pricing modules and sales cycles? Join our Antiques Dealer Training Program.
  • Are you an antiques dealer who isn’t making enough money? Are you afraid of social media? It is time you hire us for Business Consulting.

If you´re not making money in your antiques business – it’s just a hobby.

I didn’t always know how to do these things. I learned them. Step by step just like you.
When I was a child my parents taught me that it was ok to be afraid.

Bravery means being afraid and doing it anyway.

I’m American. But I live in Italy. I grew up in Oklahoma- on a ranch 30 miles from the nearest town. My mom took me to garage sales on the weekend. My dad was a cowboy. Whereas my mom taught me about beauty, my dad taught me about adventure.More than anything both my parents believed in me. And their belief in me – lead me into being the woman I am today.
