Making Mustard / The Mustard Story

Inspired by our rainbow palette, our London office has been designed with colour, collaboration and creativity at its heart. Our new space embodies the spirit of our brand and team, thanks to the talent of interior designer Lisa Mettis, founder of Born & Bred Studio.

As a female-founded business and with a team that is 78% female-identifying, celebrating the achievements of women is something close to our hearts at Mustard.

Five years feels like a long time! We are so grateful for the business we have built, and while the challenges keep us on our toes, we continue to love what we do and look forward to many more years of making Mustard. Let's take a look at five years in numbers.

If you're new to the locker-loving clan or are looking for inspiration for which colour to add to your collection, look no further! Read more about our colour story, each shade and our favourite colour combinations.

Before we dive right into 2023, we want to take the time to celebrate and appreciate everything we have achieved together this year. Here are some of our favourite moments of 2022.

Say hello to Poppy, a colour that truly ‘pops’ (see what we did there?). Meet the beautiful new red in the Mustard Made rainbow. The name? That was easy! We named it Poppy after co-founder Jess’ daughter and just like its namesake, our red is confident, playful and adventurous. 

We have reached over £100,000 in donations in under three years of supporting Beam. Read more about why this is so important to both our business and to Beam, as well as the difference these donations have made and the hundreds of people whose lives have been impacted by them.

With two working mums at the helm of Mustard, we know the juggle of trying to ‘have it all’ oh so well. We asked the mothers here at Mustard some questions to see what we could learn from each other and also, how we could support them better too.

It’s been quite the wild ride 2021, and we’re left feeling a sense of relief and saying to ourselves “Phew, we made it. We survived.”

Here’s a look back at the year through Mustard coloured glasses.

We’re celebrating our Instagram account reaching 100k! Yes, that’s one hundred thousand followers, that’s kinda a big deal if we may say so ourselves. We’re taking a moment to reflect on some of the numbers behind our colourful brand. Some you may know, some you may not! Let’s take a look…

Our launch in the USA is almost upon us, it feels like we have blinked and it's already here. We know it is going to bring its challenges but we are taking our business to a whole new continent, that’s a pretty big deal! It has been a process, as it always is with any big business venture, so I wanted to share with you some of the story from behind the scenes. Something we have found super helpful is talking to people who have done it before us, learning from mistakes, soaking in all the advice our brains can...

We are Becca + Jess. We are sisters. We are similar. We look similar (apparently, although we can't see it!) We have lots of the same mannerisms and catchphrases, we pick up on what one another says. We laugh at the same time and at the same things. We have similar tastes. We have goals that are aligned. But... we are also quite different.
