25 years of the Margate Soul Weekender...and what a weekend it was.

A huge thank you to everyone who came through the door and helped make it one of our favourite weekends of the year.

We loved chatting with visitors from all over the country, sharing our passion for clothing, spinning vinyl throughout the weekend, and soaking up the incredible atmosphere that makes this event so special.

Weekends like this remind us exactly why we love being a part of Margate.

Here's to another 25 years 🍻

Wimbledon season is here.

To mark the start of the Championships, here's a nod to two of the game's greatest style icons.

Long before the modern game, John McEnroe and Björn Borg made Sergio Tacchini and Fila as iconic off the court as they were on it.

Some styles never go out of fashion.

Discover the collection in-store and online.

What a weekend.

A huge thank you to everyone who came down and made the Margate Mod Weekender such a brilliant one. From the scooters and sharp style to the music, atmosphere & friendly faces all weekend long… this is exactly what it’s all about.

It was amazing to see so many people in town supporting the scene, visiting the shops, dancing to the DJs and soaking up the seaside vibes with us.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by Rat Race over the weekend and to Kevin Iverson for helping create such a great atmosphere in store.

Already looking forward to the next one.

Until then… keep the soul alive.
