WELCOME TO DISORDER, UNIQUE, ETHICAL FASHION STORE
Disorder Ltd is an award winning sustainable fashion brand established in 1998, Birmingham. Our menswear and womenswear designs are renown for being fashion forward and our original artwork is printed on limited lengths of textiles and all printing is done in the UK. We also source from British milled fabric manufacturers where possible, thus supporting a homegrown independent fashion ecosystem. We believe in slow fashion and are fiercely anti mass production for environmental reasons. All our garments are handcrafted in house with our artisan skilled team, making Disorder a truly 'Made in Britain,' brand.

Last week an internet customer drove 2 hours down to our Disorder studio. As someone that has a soft spot for Bentleys, I felt a bit embarrassed when our customer pulled up in one of those 😉 and had to battle through our environmentally friendly driveway, the carpet of leaves & weeds.
Dressed head to toe in Vivian Westwood... (t-shirt here 👇😅), he was very sweet & relieved to have arrived. He was bold and energetic, as is the case with many of our Disorder customers. In all the years I've been in retail, one thing I've learnt, is to never judge a book by its cover or car in this case. When we told him about how we started, degrees in Politics etc, he was quite surprised and out came his political heritage and his political acumen shone bright. Turns out he is pretty embedded in the Labour Party and mentored the Milliband brothers...Nowadays he believes more in revolution 🥲.
I asked how he became self made and it blew our minds. The man basically set up an industrial retail park and offered rent free units to start ups for the best part of a year to help generate cash flow for their businesses in an area where the local economy was suffering & there was little hope. Fast forward a few years and more industrial parks, he has transformed a huge part of the city and has single handedly created a thriving community, a business utopia. He consults the Government (wish he was the PM), and continues to be a local philanthrophic dragon, with a focus on helping kids start up their passions from disadvantaged backgrounds.
What a bloke! It was truly an honour to meet him.
We discussed about working together imminently as it would be a shame not to as there is mutual appreciation in our creative & socio-political mindset.
One in a million kind of person ✨️✨️✨️...
thank you for driving down, super lucky to meet amazing people through our clothing brand. Disorder definitely attracts the ones that goes against the grain. 🙏

We had an internet customer Dr. Gordon Bates, a psychiatrist who came to visit us (pictured in the first photo). He had never been to our shop in Birmingham and only happened to discover us whilst internet surfing for holiday clothes to wear to a scuba diving trip to Malaysia with his wife. Funnily he is from down the road Moseley 😄. Great chat about the release of his book, the origins of psychiatry 👇. All interesting to me as someone who likes a fair dose of psychology reading as it helps me to understand people & myself included 🤪.
We had the talented Kris Halpin pop by today, he needed another pair of trousers and tried on a Disorder jacket with 'his vibe,' looked wicked. We discovered that him and his wife also home educates their 3 young kids and we got very excited as some of you may know we also home ed our 11 year old✌️.
Then, there is the adorable photo of our youngest customers Olivia & William, who are wearing custom made Disorder pieces. They very patiently waited for their mum Nicola Doyle ❤️ and I to finish chatting about some crazy stuff 😜. We were very proud to make their gear, such special kids 💗.
We had the lovely Rhona Barnett and her husband Steve, retired paramedic come for a fitting. We chatted about Steve's work during the pandemic and his thoughts about it all. We all seem to have moved on from that whole period but we talked about how scarring it was worldwide. Meanwhile, Rhona was happy with the fit of her made to measure suit, it just needs a bit more taken in.
Lastly, Ben came to see us, gave us feedback on his recent night out...he said people kept complimenting him all night on his Disorder clothes. We had spine chilling chats about the supernatural 💫💫 and after ordering quite a few t-shirts, he said he has to come back again as we distracted him & it was getting late 🏕🌙🪐 😄...we are not the best sales people in the world; retail therapy without the focus on the retail 🤣.

With academic roots in Politics, Sociology & Development, we started our vertically integrated experimental fashion business in 1998. T-shirts & hoodies are made from organic cottons, produced one at a time and are all ethically manufactured from certified factories abroad. We use non toxic printing processes at our printers in Birmingham.
As self taught designers, our designs are intuitive and unconventional, giving it a distinct, ‘Disorder,’ edge. This appeals to those who crave for individuality and quality without having to pay high end prices to express themselves. We offer one of a kind bespoke service where specific requests for alterations, made to measure sizes, colour combinations etc are welcomed on our non-conformist tailored suits, waistcoats, jackets and coats. We had a destination store for 22 years in Birmingham city centre which we have now shut as a response to the pandemic. Disorder has carried on trading through our online site and has remained niche and underground, operating from our converted garage studio, maintaining the highly exclusive feel that the brand has always had in its DNA.
