About Us Page

Established in 2001 by Sophie Summers Translife have become one of the UK's leading suppliers to the crossdressing / transgender community by providing a caring and professional service to our clients both old and new, after all without you where would we be? In March 2010 we re-located our business from London to Brighton as part of our expansion process. Located only a few minutes' walk from the Sea Front and a calorie-burning stroll from the Main Line Brighton Railway Station (also close to Hove Station) we believe we have an ideal friendly new home.

Over the years we have worked hand in hand on many projects with both the theatre and film industry providing information, guidance and advice as well as a wide range of products (the number of pairs of ladies shoes we have provided has been amazing!). Encouraged by these activities and requests from our clients we decided to provide an advisory / makeover service for everyone involved in crossdressing so if you have a question or need some guidance please feel free to pick up the phone and give us a call we will be delighted to help.

Whilst we are predominantly an on-line internet business we do have many clients visit us to collect their orders or try on items, especially wigs and shoes. All we ask is you give us a call so we can arrange a time which best suites you and ensures we can dedicate the time to you and make you feel comfortable when you visit. On arrival don't forget to ask us to put the kettle on!

Whilst we endeavour to hold as much stock as possible as you will appreciate when you view our extensive range it is impossible to hold all sizes and all colours so sometimes delivery can be 3-4 weeks on some items as some of our manufacturers are overseas. We are always sorry for any delay and do try our VERY best to get things to you as quickly as possible, should there be any details we will inform you as soon as possible. We have had the pleasure of working with many professional drag artists, television and theatre productions over the years and have built up many social and business connections. If you are looking for places to go or what to do, why not drop us an email I'm sure we can help out.

Being a lifelong TV I'm aware of all the challenges we face from the emotional to the practical aspects. We respect your confidentiality we NEVER send any marketing material to your address or forward annoying emails. All our packages are sent under plain cover and we are happy to deliver to Postal Boxes or any other address you may so desire, if delivery causes that additional challenge why not considers our collect+ service it's ideal and simple and you can collect the items at a time best for you! (for more details on Collect+ visit our FAQ section).

So if you have any questions please pick up the phone and give us a call after all we are here to help whenever we can. We have provided a little map below should you wish to visit us.

Happy Crossdressing - Regards Sophie Summers
