Mission & Purpose

Our story began in Penzance in 1981. From our first shop on Adelaide Street, we sold traditional workwear to local farmers, fishermen and artists. Inspired by this creative, coastal community, we went on to design our own collections. The team today includes a brilliant mix of fashion and textile designers, fine artists and illustrators. It’s their sketchbooks and skill that bring our imaginative ideas to life. Seasalt’s design ethos is to create beautiful and useful clothing that our customers can enjoy wearing season after season. It’s our attention to detail and exceptional quality that have won us such a loyal following. From our family roots, we have grown to be one of Cornwall’s largest employers, with over 70 Seasalt shops around the UK and Ireland. We're proud of the business we've become and all the people who've helped to get us here. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to acting responsibly, living our values and putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.
