The Burnt Soul Story: Confidence, Colour & Conscious Creation
Welcome to Burnt Soul
We’re the Lycra-loving, sparkle-spreading brand on a mission to bring you unique, confidence-boosting pieces that call to your inner wild child. Whether you’re twirling under festival lights with your bezzies, performing on stage, or simply making everyday life more fabulous—our pieces are designed to make you feel unstoppable.
How It All Began
Burnt Soul was born in 2012 when our founder, Robyn, couldn’t find festival outfits that made her feel both fierce and fabulous. Working as a wedding dress designer at the time, she decided to put her skills to the test and made her first-ever catsuit—something that hugged in all the right places and celebrated curves.
What started as a personal project quickly turned into something much bigger. Watching people go from apprehensive to AMAZED (and then absolutely buzzing with confidence) was infectious. Demand grew, and by 2015, Burnt Soul was officially incorporated… Bye-bye brides, hello Lycra legends!
Since then, we’ve had some epic moments—from making a disco ball catsuit for Miley Cyrus to dressing Ella Eyre, two Spice Girls, and the 2023 BBC Gladiators. But the real magic? It’s been the incredible community that has built up around us—performers, festival-goers, dancers, skaters, and adventure seekers all over the world.
Where We Are Now
Fast forward to October 2024, and we’ve traded our Bristol roots for the salty air and golden sands of Newquay! The sea breeze, epic surf, and thriving creative scene make the perfect backdrop for our next chapter. But while our HQ may have moved, our ethos remains the same—creating standout, feel-good fashion with sustainability at its core.
What We Stand For
We don’t just make clothing—we engineer confidence. Our signature catsuits are crafted using:
✨ Clever tailoring & pattern cutting to contour curves
✨ Panels of prints, plains, foils & meshes for eye-popping visuals
✨ Sustainable manufacturing so your style doesn’t cost the planet
We believe in slow fashion—putting people and the planet before profit. That means:
💖 Made in the UK – Every piece is handmade either at Burnt Soul HQ or in our small-run factory in Exeter.
🌍 Ethical Production – We’re proud members of the Living Wage Foundation, ensuring that every stitch is sewn with fair pay & respect.
♻️ Eco Fabrics – Over 90% of our fabrics are sourced from a UK supplier, including recycled polyester (rPET) and ECONYL® regenerated nylon.
🌱 Sustainability First – From plastic-free packaging to recycling fabric scraps for community projects, we’re always looking for ways to do better.
Where We’re Going
The fashion industry has a BIG impact on the planet, and we’re here to challenge the status quo. We’ve already made major changes—switching to recycled fabrics, sourcing locally, and supporting ocean activists Surfers Against Sewage. But we’re not stopping there. We’re always on the hunt for new fabrics, better practices, and bigger impact—so watch this space!
