Northern Rags




Second of the 'It's Not Always About The Bands' blogs is on the North West's premier Indie Outfitters Northern Rags. They're based in Fleetwood but via the magic of the internet their outstandingly varied and unique clothing ranges are available world-wide.







Now in their third year and winners of the Boutique Fashion Award in 2012, they strive to provide customers with first class customer service, limited stock to ensure exclusivity, a unique in-store experience and customer loyalty rewards. 






When you purchase any garment online or in-store from Northern Rags you get a minimum 10% of the purchase price back to spend towards a future purchase and it's provided in the form of a discount code for online customers.  If you’re lucky enough to visit the Fleetwood based boutique store then they'll issue you with a bank style – chipped Loyalty Card which will then be loaded with your Cash Back.





They are leading online suppliers of fresh brands including, among others; Merc of London, David Watts Clothing and Judas Sinned including their stylish T Shirts.  The brand is now worn by numerous celebrities including Mark Wright, Jermain Defoe and Aston Merrygold. It's a new clothing label that has brought together rock & religious imagery to be inked by their tattooists & designers. Northern Rags are very proud to have been one of the very first official stockists.

Diamond and Anchor Clothing Company


Now every aspiring rock band needs to have a sharp image and have somewhere to sell their music and merchandise.  Well they need look no further than Diamond and Anchor Clothing Company who are an independent clothing label which rose like a phoenix from the flames of Ribcage Clothing. 




They aim to provide their customers with clean, interesting and thought provoking designs on each and every one of their garments.  By fusing together a love of street and tattoo art, music from indie to hardcore metal and punk, they are trying to create something a bit different.  Something accessible for everyone and have some fun in the process.  Not only are they selling their own garments that they sell bands music too, available online.






Now as a Jack Russell I'm inquisitive by nature so Ralph had a Q & A with Gary Cairns Diamond And Anchor supremo..... 


Ralph: What're your aspirations for the brand?




Gary: "Diamond and Anchor has always been about a long term vision rather than a clothing brand to me. I guess I used the clothing aspect and my love of design/art based projects in order to connect with like minded people, people who share my love for music.






Ralph: How has the growth of Diamond and Anchor taken place?





Gary: There have been a few people who have been instrumental in helping us grow and build a core network of trusted collaborators, such as (as an example..there are more but often remember later)The Recovery!, Crusades, Vukovi, Cold War Legacy Records, Overlook Records, Struggletown Records and many friends and family.









Ralph: And your long term aim?




Gary: The aim is simple, to bring as many people together who might not otherwise do so. Indie labels, bands, clothing, film/video makers. We will continue to grow this year on the clothing front as a lot of the production will be coming in-house, allowing for the release of many more designs and garments than we have been able to do before.








Ralph: Anything else planned?




Gary: On top of this add band merchandise,more indie labels added to our distribution section, tours,potential records releases, live shows, an unsigned festival, a youtube channel with live shows and a few things that need to be kept secret right now and 2013 is shaping up to be a MONSTER!!

I hope there is both the time AND energy to fit it all in. Lets crack on and do it!





So if you're in a band, follow a band or just want to look good.....check out the Diamond and Anchor Website and support Indie.....you know it makes sense!


Go on treat yourself.....
