Alternative Clothing Made in the UK

Discover handmade alternative clothing made in the UK by Alt Originals, an independent slow fashion brand based in Bristol. We create distinctive gothic, dark and alternative clothing for adults, tweens and kids, designed for people who want to express their individuality and wear something a little different.

Formerly Babble & Bloom Clothing, we’ve grown into Alt Originals, a bigger, bolder home for alternative fashion, bringing together unique designs, unusual prints and a darker twist on everyday clothing.

Many of our pieces are made to order, carefully crafted from quality fabrics to create clothing that's made to be worn, loved and enjoyed for years. From statement gothic-inspired pieces and unique printed clothing to our Alt Encore range of upcycled alternative clothing, every garment is created with individuality in mind.

We're passionate about slow fashion, handmade clothing and alternative style, creating pieces for anyone who doesn't want to blend in with the crowd.

♻️ Alt Encore is our upcycled sister brand, where pre-loved and existing garments get a whole new lease of life; because good clothes deserve an encore.
