Tartan has been around since time immemorial, in the same way as polka dots or stripes have. Hailing back from the days way up there in the highlands, invented as a way of sussing out someone's clan! And then all over those cute little pieces of luggage back in the 1970's. Punk also made Tartan very cool soon after this in the 1980's with the likes of fashion designers Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren clocking onto the trend. Who could forget Johnny Rotten of Sex Pistols making a statement in his Tartan suit? A little kooky, yes but effortlessly punk at the same time.
But Tartan for your Gothic wardrobe? Yes! It's quirky, cute and fun making it perfect for that alternative outfit! Here are just a few pieces from the Hell Bunny range new in at The Gothic Shop.
