It's been one year since BSU and Future Fashion Works launched their sustainable fashion store and community space, , in central Bath ✨🛍️

In it's first year, SOMER has become an integral part of the business community in the South West, and as a sustainable fashion and creative business incubator, it supports 300 local creative businesses and graduates - 50% of whom are students and alumni 🩵

Lola Bennett and Grace Pryatt were looking for a venue for their 'Anti-Christmas Goth Girl Market', and the team at SOMER jumped at the chance to host them.

Yuting Yan (Ting) launched her brand alongside her partner Rob Goulding, and with SOMER's support, Manifest has increased B2B business by 500%

created the window activation titled 'Make a Mark on our Heart', which became a portfolio piece for Bo as an emerging installation artist, and was Bath's most talked about window displays.

These are just a few examples of BSU community members who have engaged with SOMER.
