about
SAINT
AND SOFIA
Saint and Sofia is an award-winning brand based in London, England, dedicated to creating ready-to-wear clothing and accessories that are both fair and sustainable. At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to challenging the status quo by fusing the art of design with the science of production. Every piece begins in our London studios, where our team carefully designs each style, before being brought to life in Europe by trusted, family-owned factories that share our values of craftsmanship, ethics, and sustainability. In November 2025, Saint and Sofia proudly joined the British Fashion Council, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the growth and development of emerging British talent within the fashion industry.
We are deeply passionate about creating timeless styles with a modern, comfortable twist. As both dreamers and doers, we believe that fashion should inspire joy and confidence, and that exceptional style should be fair, accessible, and inclusive. Since launching in January 2020, Saint and Sofia has grown rapidly, now serving over 700,000 customers worldwide. To support this growth, we operate dedicated fulfilment and operations centres across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. Our team, which has grown to more than 80 talented individuals, brings together experience from pioneering brands including Louis Vuitton, Roland Mouret, Ted Baker, and French Connection.
Our founders, Malcolm Bell and Dessi Bell, have been recognised for their innovation and leadership, winning the National Business Award for E-Commerce Strategy and earning a nomination for Entrepreneur of the Year. In June 2023, Saint and Sofia was nominated for Employer of the Year and awarded the Investors in People Gold accreditation in recognition of our commitment to creating an outstanding workplace. This prestigious award was then renewed in 2026, reflecting our ongoing dedication to fostering a positive, supportive, and inspiring environment for our team.
Saint and Sofia's collections have been featured in leading publications such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, Stylist, Harper's Bazaar, and The Times, among others. Beyond fashion, we are committed to making a meaningful contribution to society. We have supported a range of charitable and cultural organisations, including the Natural History Museum in London and Trees for Cities. We are also working to support the V&A Museum and Central Saint Martins, helping to nurture creativity and education within the arts. During 2020, we contributed to vital efforts during a critical time by supporting key workers and donating to Oxford University to aid in the research and development of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Each month, we continue to give back by donating clothing to charities such as Smart Works and women's shelters across the South East of England.
The Art of Design
Our design and development team in London takes inspiration from the arts, music and popular culture to create current, versatile styles with a twist. The design team visit art galleries, work with artists and draw inspiration from the creative arts when designing styles in seasonal collections.
Every year we produce Collections for Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter. We have dedicated designers for Ready to Wear, Accessories, Homeware and Wall Art. In between seasonal collections, we work with artists and master craft makers to create special collections. We're also working with Central St. Martins to support the talents of young British designers and garment technologists.

Creative & Story Telling
Storytelling is core to what we believe; that fashion can excite and enrich our everyday lives. We believe that storytelling can be powerful, allowing us to escape for even the briefest of moments to explore new places, themes and ideas. We love to tell stories, inspired by our collections and the world around us. Each of our campaigns is created by our in-house team, shot on location or in our London studios. Our campaigns are what we are feeling and thinking based on the events, culture and movements around us.
Our Business on Top campaign explores our changing relationship with what we wear and when we wear it as we stay connected through video calls. We're living through a new, shared reality that sees us more physically separate but more emotionally connected than ever. In the Spring/Summer of 2020 many of us were working from home. We saw customers make a clear choice - a preference for comfort with casual styles on bottom and more tailored, smarter styles on top.

Quality
We've built a smart supply chain using data science, lean manufacturing principles and just in time production. Our Factories are all family owned and share our values of fairness. We have a dedicated production team in Europe that visits our factories every week. This way, we can guarantee the quality of each and every single style we make. The goal was to produce efficiently, in a sustainable way to minimise cost and the impact on the environment. This way, we're able to offer a fairer price to customers because our costs are lower. We've also optimised our logistics, transport and production to reduce transport distance and cost.
Sustainability
We passionately believe in being serious about sustainability and that we have a responsibility to each other and to the planet. We make all of our styles in the most sustainable way because we believe in making products that are good for you and minimise our impact on the environment. This means being conscious of the effect each part of our design and supply chain has on us, our customers and the planet. We believe every business has a duty to have a positive social impact.
