About us

A Love for Fashion, a Shop of My Own

Hello, I’m Claire Bennett, the woman behind Brighton & Bloom. Fashion has always been something I enjoy, from browsing little boutiques to finding a piece that brings a whole outfit together. Friends would often ask me to help them choose something for a dinner, a holiday or a family celebration, and I loved being part of it. Over time, I started imagining a shop of my own, filled with the pieces I’d stop to look at and happily recommend. In 2018, that idea became Brighton & Bloom. It gave me a place to share my taste, follow my curiosity and turn a lifelong interest into something I could build.

Pieces You’ll Look Forward to Wearing

When I choose pieces for Brighton & Bloom, I think about where they might take you. An afternoon with friends, a weekend away, a special birthday or an ordinary day when you fancy wearing something lovely. I’m drawn to beautiful colours, interesting prints and shapes that are easy to put your own stamp on. I also like to think beyond the first outfit: what could you pair it with, and how else could you wear it? That’s the approach behind our collection. I want browsing Brighton & Bloom to feel a little like shopping with a friend who knows you enjoy fashion and gives you room to find your own favourites.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

Eight years on, I still enjoy discovering something new for the shop and wondering which piece will catch your eye. What makes running Brighton & Bloom especially rewarding is hearing from customers and seeing familiar names return. Your support has helped this business grow, and it means a great deal to me. Our Founder’s Collection Sale is a chance to celebrate that journey and say thank you for being part of it. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for another browse, you’re very welcome here. I look forward to sharing more lovely finds with you in the years ahead.

With love,
Claire Bennett
