Designed and handmade by Sophie Aurélia Young
Our first outfit reveal from the upcoming collection, the ANTHEIA set ✨️ The new collection will be dropping on Friday 28th at 6pm BST ⏰️ But there's more...
We are launching www.BloodlustClothing.com 🔥 All future collections will be released via our brand new official website! It is currently still under construction but will be launching before the collection release, allowing you to view item previews before they become available for purchase.
On a personal note, I've put off creating a website for so long because I got too comfortable selling through Etsy, and a lot of customers find the brand through browsing that marketplace. But something I've vowed to do this year is to take more risks and really invest in the brand. We've grown a pretty decent following online, especially on Instagram, so I have every confidence that moving away from Etsy is a positive move and quite frankly well overdue!
Thank you to all of our customers for their incredible support 🖤 This next collection might just be my favourite yet so I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all
Thank you so much for all of your orders this weekend, your items are being shipped tomorrow 🖤
Just 3 pieces remain from Friday's one-of-a-kind release, including the NIGHTRAIN Bralette pictured. All measurements are stated in each Etsy listing description ✨️
🔥Its drop day!🔥
7 new one-of-a-kind pieces will be available tonight at 6pm (UK time), including these 2 bralettes: The RED REBEL Bralette and the NIGHTRAIN Bralette

As promised, a few more festival essentials for this very minimal drop on Friday! The HELLBENT Bustier (size M-L), and the PISTOL Shorts (M) with detachable chains ⛓️
Set your alarms for 6pm BST (UK time) on Friday 31st May ✨️
As many of you know, I have been super busy this month with all of your custom orders for festival season, plus I myself am heading off on tour with my band so will be out of office for the next week 🎸 This means that there unfortunately won't be a full collection release this month. However, we will still be releasing a handful of versatile festival-appropriate pieces on Friday 31st May, including this Led Zeppelin bodysuit 🪽
Don't forget we also have our ⚡️5th Birthday SALE⚡️ on until the 31st. There are still pieces left ranging from XS-XL+, so make sure you take advantage of this as it's unlikely we will be reducing any more pieces until the end of the year
🩸 5 Years Of Bloodlust 🩸
Finding it hard to believe that this little project of mine has now been going for a whole 5 years. Where does the time go?
What started as a part-time venture with no real plan has now been my full-time job for some time, and I couldn't be any more grateful to those of you who have led me here. I have been able to create pieces for people I admire, bring joy to clients by making their custom ideas a reality, all whilst truly loving what I do and feeling creatively fulfilled. It's been tough at times, but I wouldn't change any of it. I wonder what the next 5 years will bring...
To celebrate this milestone and show my gratitude to you guys for helping me get here, we're having a huge sale across the entire shop, with many products being 50% off! That's every single ready-to-ship listing reduced 💸
Thank you all so much for supporting my small business 🖤 I hope to see lots of you tagging Bloodlust in your outfit posts this Summer, it brings me absolute joy to see you guys rocking your unique pieces 🥰

So thrilled to share that Bloodlust Clothing was selected to be the featured designer in the new issue of Devolution Magazine ✨️ I had a great time chatting to Gary Trueman about the beginnings of Bloodlust and what being an independent designer entails. This feature is a huge honour and I'm extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity to share a little bit about myself, what this brand means to me, and hopefully introduce Bloodlust to people who haven't heard of us yet.
You can now read the issue online here:

and you can also pre-order your hard copy now. I can't wait to receive mine!

As some of you may know, this May will mark 5 years of Bloodlust! 😮 I started this brand as a part-time venture when I was feeling less than fulfilled by my day job at a luxury garment manufacturer. Having achieved a degree in fashion design, only to do endless unpaid design internships and a few more years working in the manufacturing side of the industry, I started working on Bloodlust from my bedroom in the evenings as a creative outlet.
It wasn't until I moved into a house with my partner in 2021 that I felt I had the option to take Bloodlust full time. Prior to that, I had questioned several times whether or not running my own business would be sustainable for me, or if I was even passionate enough about what I was doing to make it successful. If it wasn't for Dave making sure I had my own studio, convincing me that I had something worth persuing, or supporting me through some more difficult stages, I don't know if Bloodlust would still be around now. But if I'm honest, since I set up my studio and made the decision to invest in myself, I really haven't looked back ✨️
We will definitely be celebrating our 5th birthday with a big sale or a giveaway in May, so let us know which you would prefer! Thank you to everyone who has kept me in business over the past few years, I wonder what the next 5 will bring! 🔮
