The Ragged Priest



Just a quick one to let you know about my new favourite label - The Ragged Priest. I've been eyeing up some of their shirts in the Manchester Arndale Topshop store for a while now, but I've still not splurged as yet. They started out as an Ebay store but quickly got snapped up by Topshop and now have a small concession in store. They basically customise and remake fairly basic vintage items by adding fabulous studs and spikes, as well as loads of tie dying.

My favourite piece by far has to be their studded leather jacket but at a whopping £195, I'll have to do a bit more saving before I can purchase it just yet! I think what I like about them is that it's kind of a mismatch of loads of different styles and there's something in there for most women from hippies right through to punks!

If like me, you can't quite afford their prices just yet, then why not use them as inspiration and make your own? I bought some studs from Afflecks Palace a few weeks ago and I'm going to try my luck at customising an old denim shirt for a bit of fun! Will post pictures when it's finished :)

Hope you like them as much as I do!
