We pride ourselves on being the place that everyone turns to when buying something that's a ‘little bit extra.’

where it all began

Initially, Claire Henderson and Mike Branney, the owners of MollyBoo, started selling on eBay. They were looking for ways to fund their charity in Cambodia, known as The BrannersonFoundation. Their sales on eBay really took off so from there they set up a social media account and soon after, a website.

The company grew at a fast pace but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. One of the first suppliers that Claire and Mike trusted stole £30,000 of their money, which at that time was all of their money! However, in their own words, “the key is not to quit, every successful person hasn’t quit.”

So... What's Our Mission Statement?

We exist to provide trend driven high quality products from ethical supply chains that will turn heads and get you noticed.

And Our Unique Selling Point?

The Brannerson Foundation

We are a brand with a purpose, giving a percentage of our profits every month to The Brannerson Foundation, a charity based in Cambodia.

As the brand continues to grow, all thanks to the community who love wearing our clothes, so does the level of support The Brannerson Foundation is able to offer.

OUR MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCT PROCESS

Our product development and manufacturing process is unique to most. At MollyBoo, we like to be different and always with you in mind, as we love our customers!

Our buyers do not purchase wholesale products, which allows us to keep our designs super unique - and of course that little bit extra! All our products are designed in house by a small, incredibly talented design team. All our collections are curated by a small buying team led by our Creative Director.

We also pride ourselves on being incredibly involved with the people and production behind every MollyBoo 'fit. Our founders, Mike Branney and Claire Henderson, set up our two main factories when MollyBoo started. This means we have control over our workers' safety, the wages they are paid, and the quality of the product at every stage of manufacturing in those factories.
