Sosandar saw losses widen in its first half, despite returning to revenue growth.
The fashion brand’s pre-tax loss grew from £0.7m last year to £1.1m for the six months ended 30 September 2025.
Sosandar is available on M&S website and the brand attributed its recorded loss to disruption from the M&S cyber-attack earlier this year which impacted sales via the food and fashion giant, as well as ongoing investment into its new shops.
Sosandar returned to sales growth, with a 15% rise in net revenue to £18.7m, compared to £16.2m in H1 FY25.
It highlighted that its own site sales also returned to growth, with a 28% increase compared to the prior year.

The brand insisted it continued to witness “robust trading” via its third-party partners, such as Next, where it rolled out a licensed homeware range last month, while sales via the M&S website recommenced after its cyber incident.
Looking ahead, Sosandar forecasts pre-tax profit of £400,000 and sales of £43.6m for the year ended 31 March 2026.
Sosandar joint-CEOs Ali Hall and Julie Lavington said: “We remain incredibly excited for what lies ahead for Sosandar as we leverage the multiple opportunities available to us to expand the brand’s presence across the UK and international markets, progressing towards our goal of becoming one of the leading global womenswear brands.
