About Seasalt
Originally selling workwear to local mariners and practical overalls to artists, our story began in a small shop in Penzance in 1981. Over the years we’ve grown into a leading UK lifestyle brand with over 80 shops across the UK and Ireland, 400+ wholesale partners and a thriving online business, but never losing touch of our roots.
Our passion for well‑crafted clothing, exemplary customer service and connection to our local communities drives everything we do. As we continue to grow in the UK and internationally, we are focussed on delivering excellence across every touchpoint, whether that is at our warehouse, in store or through our customer service channels, building a team that shares our values.
Each employee plays a part in the success of Seasalt, and this was evidenced by our Drapers Award win of “Best Place to Work”.
