Who Owns Solace London? The Founders, the Company and What It Means

The company behind the label, Solace London Limited, is a private limited company registered at Companies House with the company number 08603919. Its public record at Companies House lists the two founders as its only directors and as the only people with significant control, each holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of the shares.

Who founded Solace London?

Laura Taylor and Ryan Holliday-Stevens founded the label in London in 2013. The two met years earlier in Leeds, where Laura managed a specialty store and Ryan was selling his own line there. Selfridges was the first stockist, Net-a-Porter followed, and the brand made its New York Fashion Week debut in September 2017 with its Spring 2018 collection. Both founders remain directors of the company today.

Is Solace London part of a larger group?

No. Unlike many contemporary labels that sit inside a fashion group, Solace London shows neither a parent company nor an investment fund on its public record. For buyers, that matters in two ways. The design voice has stayed consistent, with the same sculpted line running from the early collections to Resort 2027. And the brand sells through a selective set of retailers rather than everywhere, which is why some sites that use its name are not connected to it.

Is the website I found the official one?

The brand’s own website is solacelondon.com. Other sites with similar names appear in search results and AI answers, and some of them are not the brand.
