In 2009 we met Mr Blue, and this is where it all began.

Gregor, Fraser and Ali went to an athletics and drinking weekend where the theme was ‘wear one colour’. Our best mate Stew Walker turned up in an incredible blue suit. He couldn’t see much and it didn’t fit well, but he was king of the party that night. That was our eureka moment. Inspired by Stew’s outfit and the reaction it got, we thought we could turn the idea into an awesome fancy dress costume. Then we ordered some suits, just six plain colours to start with. We set up a website for £450 (I know what you’re thinking, ‘that much?’) and the Morphsuit phenomenon was born.

In 2011 we started our bid for global domination and began selling Morphsuits across the world.

It turned out there were loads of brilliant people who loved Morphsuits everywhere. That gave us the chance to design and make many more costumes: Lederhosen for German carnival, Slenderman for frightening people in North America, and the Aussie flag, to name a few. We also got seriously into social media and started the Morph Hall of Fame. Then we started making costumes for women too.

This was the year Morphsuits went digital, mostly thanks to meeting a NASA scientist called Mark Rober.

After Mark helped put a Mars rover on the red planet, he created an amazing Halloween costume that used a bit of digital trickery to ‘blow a hole’ through his stomach. He owned the Halloween party, posted the video to YouTube, and a couple of million views later he started his own costume company, Digital Dudz. In 2013 Morphsuits acquired Digital Dudz, and we began building his digital innovations into our costumes.

2015 was about building on the success of 2014.

Having rebranded from Morphsuits to MorphCostumes, we set out to become the best and most inventive costume makers around. We did create the Morphsuit, after all. We expanded our range of traditional costumes, working closely with suppliers to pick the funniest, scariest and best, so MorphCostumes would be the number one place for the world’s best fancy dress.

So yeah, it’s been a pretty wild few years.

The pandemic had a rubbish effect on partying, but we came out the other side stronger than ever. Our design team created more original costumes than ever before, and we signed a deal to sell officially licensed Disney costumes across the UK and Europe. We’re all happy to be back in the office (it’s a pretty cool office, to be fair), working harder than ever to help you party hard and look fantastic. The world is back, and we’re ready for a damn good time.

Ownership

Founder-owned again

2024 marked 15 years since that first suit, and we celebrated by doing something we’re really proud of.

Back in 2012 we’d taken on investment from the Business Growth Fund to help us grow; twelve years on, we bought their stake back, and MorphCostumes became fully founder-owned again. We also launched in Mexico, adding another country to the map, and carried on making more original costumes than ever.
