Hi, I'm India, the founder of Bronte. I've spent the last five years teaching mat and reformer pilates, mostly around Bali and on super yachts. Somewhere in all those classes, I got fed up hunting for good grip socks, ones that stayed put through footwork, felt good on, and didn't look like an afterthought, that I decided to just make them myself. I grew this idea from thousands of hours actually on the mat and reformer watching what really holds up. I hope you love wearing them as much as I do.
Our mums and grandmas were all besties and we are two. One of those friends that is always there. I was one of Tabby's bridesmaids this summer and it was magic!
CESCA
Behind the sock:
Cesca and I brought Bronte to the UK together before she headed to an amazing job in Dubai. She is the reason the business has any back end systems! We see each other whenever we can, which tends to involve getting on a plane.
STEPH
Behind the sock:
Steph is the reason I was brave enough to start Bronte. She has a way of making the women around her believe that they are capable of achieving anything. One of the many reasons we absolutely love her!
GEMMA
Behind the sock:
Gemma is a lifelong bestie. In my life from the start as our moms were just as close. When we were younger, we wanted everyone to believe that we were twins so we used to wear matching dresses and have our hair tied in the same bows.
JESS
Behind the sock:
Dr Jess Bateman is often seen as the brains of the group. From being kids together to now, she's always been great at honest (but loving and supportive!!) advice.
Absolutely love this clip, it is genuinely comfy on my head, great size for holding in all my hair and can wear it in different styles. It's so great that it's a flexible material as I always used to snap hard plastic claw clips!
As someone with thick long hair who normally breaks these sorts of clips in a matter of months, this clip is surviving.
The soft structure means the teeth aren’t under the normal strain and the hinge is very strong. I’m assuming the soft teeth is part of why I can wear the clip all day and have no headache.
Hoping for more colours in the future.
THe cutest and most functional pilates socks! you can feel the quality and are so comfy! perfect grip level for the reformer, but can still slip into shoes to run errands straight from the studio!
The perfect tote for everything from running errands, pilates classes and travelling! The built in pocket is perfect to keep your bag organised, and the fun design adds a pop of colour to any outfit!
Love the clip! Such a soft and secure grip, it doesn't dig in like so many others do and is gentle on your head. Love the colours too! A fantastic and well thought out produce which is typical of all Bronte products.
I bought two clips for myself. Daughter and daughter in law now own them!!! Both have stressful jobs hair up all day and their scalps ache from hard clips. Game changers for them both♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Very aesthetically pleasing but only worn twice and already very bobbly and pulling, i washed with care and in the bag they come with. Really disapointed with a £14 pair of socks to not be long lasting.
Store owner replied:
Hi Faith, so sorry to read that your socks have bobbled! That is not our expectation of quality at all. Unfortunately sometimes washing can effect the socks if it's very hot or the socks are in with rough fabrics. Please reach out and I'd be happy to send a replacement pair.
