The Souled Store

The Souled Store began with fan-merchandise apparel and expanded into casual clothing, sneakers, backpacks and accessories for children and adults. Pop-culture merchandise remains part of its identity alongside non-fandom products. It sells through its website, app, marketplaces and physical stores, and acquired fellow merchandise brand Redwolf in 2025.

Why we're watching

Its expansion beyond fandom merchandise raises an interesting question about how specialist brand identity survives broader lifestyle positioning.

Funding

In 2023, The Souled Store raised INR 135 crore in a round led by Xponentia Capital, with participation from Elevation Capital and RPSG Capital.
