Burnt Soul

Whatever their business size, customers just need to send on average of 20 or more parcels per week to qualify for a business account.

Around 1,000 businesses open a Royal Mail account every month. From marketplace sellers to large corporations, from Sameday or Next Day delivery to economy options — we design a courier service to suit them.

One such company, whose passion we helped turn into a business, is ‘Burnt Soul,’ the Bristol Lycra lovers ‘making a new kind of uniform for adventure seekers, sparklers, and wild childs all over the world.’

Founder, creative director, and designer Robyn Lythe started Burnt Soul in 2012. The business has grown significantly since then, and Royal Mail has been integral in that growth.

‘The posties have been amazing at keeping you all in your lycra,’ said Robyn. ‘Royal Mail Click & Drop has been so instrumental in the growth of our business. It means we can offer shoppers delivery options that suit their needs. A Royal Mail parcel delivery account really helped us get going.’

A fashion design graduate from Bristol, Robyn had experience with technical pattern cutting and knew how to manipulate panels of fabric to create something that would contour, lift and smooth where needed. She took this talent and applied it to Burnt Soul.

‘I was making wedding dresses before and I started doing catsuits on the side,’ said Robyn. ‘But people’s reactions were so much better trying on a catsuit than a wedding dress that I just had to make the change!

‘We make catsuits to suit a wide variety of shapes, concentrating on pattern cutting that flatters the figure, to promote body confidence for everyone.’
