About Us
Quality and ethics have always been very important to us. We are a vegetarian company and have never stocked animal tested or animal products. Our hair dyes and cosmetics are not animal tested and do not contain animal products. Directions hair dye and Crazy color hair dye are vegan-friendly and Stargazer cosmetics are vegetarian and none of our products contains leather or fur. We aim to source our products from either UK suppliers, fair trade approved suppliers or small independent suppliers for whom ethical standards are important. We have recently begun to re-introduce our own in house handmade/ customised products again.
Stinky Fish Clothing was established in 2000. Originally working under the name 'Stinky Fish Club-wear', we hand made U.V clubwear and accessories and mainly traded in the nightclubs of the south coast where Rachel's handmade outfits were a big hit. We also transformed the venues with our handmade U.V décor.
Our first permanent base was in the antique market in Winchester from 2000 to 2003. We then moved to the Stockbridge Road shop where we expanded our range of alternative products. We began to trade online around 2007 and closed the shop down in 2013 to concentrate on this. We can also be found trading at festivals during the summer, check out the Facebook page for details.
As a small independent company, we pride ourselves on fast, efficient, friendly, flexible, honest and personal service. All of our products and services are hand-picked for quality and reliability, we don't sell anything we wouldn't be happy to use ourselves.
