End Of An Era

Morning,

Just a note to say that from the end of this month, we will switching to only selling online through our online shop and the last day our physical shop at 15 Silver Street, Wellingborough will be open is Saturday 25th June. After that, we'll still be able to get you all your favourite pieces, it will just be delivered to your door instead!

Because of this, we are having a massive sale as a big thank you to our customers. The sale is on both in store and online, and includes clothes by Death Kitty, Max C, Monsalina Chic, Worn Free, Spiral Direct, and even this season's Yumi. It also includes Temporary:Secretary jewellery, our ethically traded accessories and homeware, Smashing Glass glassware, and Stargazer hair dyes and false lashes. Some items have more than 50% off their original retail price!

Thank you to all of our in-store customers for all their support, and we hope we can still help you look unique via our online shop. In the meantime, enjoy the bargains!

Some of our bargains are below:

Death Kitty skirts only £10 and jeans from £12.

Made from lightweight material, with pale pink and black polka dot around the sleeves, neckline and on the decorative bow, the drop-waist makes it very flattering. It's also got big pockets for your sunglasses and bits!

Have a great weekend!

Twisted Firestarter

Morning,

Already been quite busy today! We've now sold out of the Max C Lace Bow vests and the Worn Free John Lennon New York City T-shirts (last one is off to Sweden this morning!). Hope everyone who got one of those is loving it!

Just a reminder that over the bank holiday we will be shut on Sunday and Monday as usual, but we're also taking Tuesday off too (we're off to Derbyshire for some R&R with the family... I anticipate lots of tea and cake and the odd glass of wine!). But first we're off out on the town tonight to celebrate a couple of birthdays, so happy birthday to Dan and Carly!

Pick Of The Day today is this D'n'J Twisted Bag in Turquoise Floral, £14.00. It's handmade by local artisan-types D'n'J and it's a one-off, so perfect if you're after something totally unique. Like Levi's famous twisted jeans, it's seams are twisted meaning it hangs really well and has a very distinctive look. Made from turquoise and floral panels, it's bright and great for summer (especially festivals!). This is only available on our online shop (or maybe if you come in the store and ask really really nicely) so grab your opportunity for this one!

Have a great weekend!

Coney Island Baby

Morning,

Well, I'll admit, I'm here at the shop, and not watching the Royal Wedding. We're open until 4pm today so come have a browse if you're at a loose end on your extra day off!

I was interviewed live on BBC Radio Northampton yesterday about the Wellingborough Traders Group and the town centre in general. You can listen to it on iPlayer here, just skip ahead to the 30 minute point to hear the full piece.

Pick Of The Day today is this Worn Free John Lennon New York City T-Shirt, on sale at £25.00. We only have very limited stock of this left and only in a size S so perfect for girls too! This is a fully licensed replica made by California's Worn Free of the original t-shirt John Lennon wore in New York in 1974. It's been one of our most popular Worn Free designs, so make it yours quickly!

Have a great day whatever you're doing!

It's A Knockout

Morning,

Just given the counter a bit of a polish. I love our counter. Not sure how old it is but the metal plaque on it states it was made by Shopfittings (Manchester) Ltd, Manchester 4. Not sure when the postcodes changed but I think that makes it at least 50 years old (but I'm happy to be corrected if anyone else can help!). It's an old drapers counter. The best thing about it is that I think we were fated to have it. When I was looking at counters to buy, most of the affordable ones were just MDF boxes. Pete said it was a shame we couldn't find one like the old drapers counter they used to have in Milestones on Cambridge Street. Now I don't remember Milestones, but it was a clothes shop in Wellingborough in the 80s/90s (again, I think, feel free to correct me). Anyway, I got increasingly annoyed as Pete extolled the virtues of this apparently fantastic counter I couldn't afford anything like. Then, a day later, we ran into the bloke who had owned Milestones in town, Pete not having seen him for about a decade. In the course of conversation, it transpired he still had the counter (it was in his garage acting as a vegetable rack) and he agreed to sell it to us. Hence, the antique counter. Admittedly, the glass on top is a little scratched and there are signs in the wood that it was once attacked by hungry bugs (they're not there now, I checked!), but it's really distinctive, and even still has the little brass ruler measuring out a yard on the top. All in all, it's Unorthodox, and that's what we like. So yes, that's Friday story time for you!


Today's Pick Of The Day is expertly modelled here by Steve, but since we have it in sizes ranging from XS to L, I think it's perfect for the ladies too. This is the Worn Free Joan Jett Knockout T-Shirt, now on sale at £25.00. It's a replica of the original Knockout t-shirt worn by Joan Jett in New York, 1981, as shown on the distinctive Worn Free tag. California's Worn Free produce brilliant fully licensed t-shirts that are fantastic quality (mine have lasted ages and washed really well), and this is a great way of showing your love of an artist without the obvious band t-shirts. Or I suppose it's just great if you like boxing. If you like boxing *and* Joan Jett, it's just too damn perfect! So get this and settle down with The Runaways on DVD or start dancing around to I Love Rock N Roll.

It's Friday! Oh, you noticed? :)

Perfect Punk Rock Magazines

Morning,

It's the weekend! Our special offer runs until the end of tomorrow, so get yourself over to our Facebook page for details. Also, look out for our advert all about our sale in Monday's Spree section in the Northants Evening Telegraph.

We've been thinking about job titles a lot today. At some places I've worked at in the past, people get so hung up on them, so we take a slightly more, erm, unorthodox approach. I still think one of the greatest job titles I've ever had was during a stint working for Subway, when my badge declared me to be a Sandwich Artist. To be honest, I only applied for the job because I wanted that job title. Currently, when anyone asks, I tend to give my title as Megalomaniac (because as TS Eliot wrote "The naming of cats is a difficult matter..."). I find it amusing, as do most people I tell, but some do just look confused, and others more than a little worried. Isabel, who helps out sometimes, has bagged the title Executive Minion, but I doubt that will be appearing on a CV any time soon. Generally, when I talk about Pete I refer to him as Unorthodox Boy, but he declared this morning he preferred Unorthodox Bitch (more to do with him doing the hoovering than a nasty temperament). Brian, often referred to as our Official Photographer, is equally often referred to as The Hippy On The Stairs. I'm yet to come up with titles for the rest of our helpers (Tahnee especially defies description!) but I'm going to get to work on it (in full consultation with them, obviously). Any of you had any particularly great job titles over the years? Any suggestions? Do let us know.

Anyway, on to Pick Of The Day...



This Worn Free 'Punk Magazine' t-shirt is a licensed replica of the one worn by Joey Ramone in New York, 1975. It comes with the coveted WF tag showing Joey in his original tee. These are now in the sale, as well, so they're a total bargain for a Worn Free tee. Their t-shirts are great quality and in my experience last really well. This one is only left in a Large and numbers are very very limited so if you want one, speak now or forever hold your peace!

View and order the Worn Free Joey Ramone Punk Magazine t-shirt on our online shop.

Have a great weekend. Catch you on Tuesday.

Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam

Morning,

Our Worn Free t-shirts seem to be especially popular in the sale! Not surprising really when you realise they're now all only £25! Have a look around, that's very cheap for these beauties!

On my ongoing quest to work my way through all the Stargazer hair dyes, I have now forsaken my beloved Rouge for their Violet one, and I'm loving it! Might stick with this one for a little while. Plus, I have just about finally washed out all of the glitter from their Glitter Shakers from NYE (thanks to Deb at The Horseshoe for that one!).

Anyway, back to Worn Free for our Pick Of The Day. As I mentioned, all of the Worn Free t-shirts are now in our sale, but be quick as sizes and numbers are limited so when they're gone, they're gone! This is the Jesus Saves one in blue (also available in white) and is a fully licensed reproduction of the one worn by Keith Moon of The Who. It comes with the distinctive WF swingtag showing Mr Moon in the original, with all the info of when and where he wore it back in the day. The best bit of bargain band merch you'll see in a long time!

Morning,

Glad to see you're all making the most of the sale. Whether its something you've had your eye on for a while, or you're looking to get a bargain, pop in store at 15 Silver Street, Wellingborough (on the corner of Silver Street and Oxford Street) or have a look at our online shop.

Beautifully tailored, the silky plum coloured fabric is gorgeous with little layered pleats for a slight bodycon effect. This is a simple, smart piece that can be worn for work, or dressed up for a special occasion, whether you choose to go glam, or take advantage of the cut of it and go with a retro look. With a hidden zip at the back, it's the usual fantastic value and quality we expect from Monsalina Chic.

Many Puddles To Cross

Morning,

Just today and tomorrow to go. Remember, we're open until 5.30pm today, and for an extra hour tomorrow until 6.30pm for you to get all your shopping done. For those who have ordered things through the online shop, we hope they have reached you in time, and we have tried to keep you all posted on any delays, but as I'm sure you can appreciate, it's a little unpredictable at the moment.


This photo, as well as illustrating our Pick Of The Day, is from a collaborative project between Brian Chapman Photography and Unorthodox called Local Heroes. It's a series of portraits depicting people we feel make Wellingborough and the surrounding area a better place. This one features one of Unorthodox's resident artists, Daniel Cheney. He can be seen wearing the Worn Free Jimmy Cliff 'The Harder They Come' t-shirt which is our Pick Of The Day. Created to mark Island Records anniversary, this is a fully licensed piece of merchandise with a fantastic retro print. Only a few sizes left now, so get in quick if you want a bit of winter sunshine!

Morning,

Saturday has rolled around again. We bid a sad goodbye to our Death Kitty Skull Bow T-shirts that have now sold out. We are also on our last Death Kitty Beano Jumper (in store only, currently), and limited stock of the Death Kitty Skull Rose Leggings and the Worn Free Joey Ramone 'Punk Magazine' t-shirts. Oh, and remember, if you're Christmas shopping today, we have gift vouchers available if you're just not sure, or leave a wishlist here so we can help your friends and family pick out just the right things.

Pick Of The Day for today is this wearable work of art. Created by Rubertine Art, this Bob Marley t-shirt has been airbrushed, making it hand-finished, intricate and in limited numbers. Simple, but really iconic, this is a definite must-have for any fan of the legend. More information on the t-shirt can be found on the link below, or check out the Rubertine Art section for more of their iconic designs.

Morning,

As the festive season approaches, those in the vicinity of the shop can come in a make their Christmas list! We'll give you a copy, keep a copy, and that way everyone knows exactly what you want, and we can do our best to ensure you don't get any doubles. Alternatively, just ask for an Unorthodox gift certificate.

We have a couple of preview pieces in from Monsalina Chic. One is a red tunic, the other a black and white dress, so pop in and let us know what you think. We can always order your size in if we don't have it.

Oh, and remember, today is your last chance to get your hands on our WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies before we finish stocking the range, so get in quick!


Pick Of The Day is this Worn Free Punk Magazine T-Shirt as worn by Joey Ramone. Pre-washed so it fits, this is a licensed replica of the t-shirt Joey wore in New York in 1975, and comes with the distinctive Worn Free swingtag/sticker showing him in the original. Modelled here by both Steve and Matt, it's a classic.

Purrfect

Morning,

Trying to work out when the best time to put the Xmas decorations up at the shop is. Don't want to get in too early, but don't want to be all Scrooge-like. Any ideas?

Tomorrow is your last chance to get your hands on our WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies before we finish stocking the collection, so if you've been eyeing any of them up, either pop in or order them quickly! We've loved having the screen-printed range in, but we're scaling down our menswear (unless you blokes out there have a sudden shopping surge, in which case we'll reconsider!). We will still have our Worn Free t-shirts, Rubertine Art t-shirts, and Spiral Direct shorts in stock for the time being.

Pick Of The Day is this purrfect stocking filler from hand-assembled jewellery starlet Temporary:Secretary. These Hello Kitty earrings are kitsch, cute, and a bargain. Great as a gift, or even better to keep for yourself! We also have a Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty ring, if you want to coordinate. For more information, pop in store or check them out on our online shop.

Twinkle Twinkle

Morning,

Well, I've got all the props ready for the window display, which a group of us are working on tomorrow, ready for the street party on Saturday. There's also a competition for which you will need a voucher from the Evening Telegraph. Copies will be available on the day, but I think more details are in today's paper. Also, there is the Odd Man Out competition (possibly aimed at a younger audience, but hey, give it a go) where you have to spot the item in various shop windows that belongs in a different shop. Looking forward to it all!

Bit of sad news, for those loving our Worn Free t-shirts, the seasons have changed, and we can't get any more of the designs we have, so it's first come, first served on the designs left. Already sold out completely of the Muhammad Ali 'Float Like A Butterfly' t-shirts in black and the Keith Moon 'Gun' t-shirts in green, but we still have plenty of other designs and sizes left, and what's more they're currently on sale at £30! But be quick, because once they're gone they're gone! The good news is that this means we'll have room for some of their gorgeous new lines, including women's fit!

Pick Of The Day is this gorgeous JP Jewellery Star & Leaves Charm Bracelet. The JP Jewellery range is exclusive to Unorthodox, and is all hand made, and predominantly one-off pieces. This is one such piece. The chain measures about 8 inches, and has star, heart, flower and leaf charms, as well as other pretty sparkly things! We have several other one-off charm bracelets from JP Jewellery in various styles, as well as their other pieces, so have a look at the JP Jewellery section on our website.

SALE!

Friday With A Twist

Morning,

To celebrate the launch of our online shop, www.unorthodoxshop.com, we have some special internet-only offers running until the end of Sunday 19th September. They're while stocks last so get in quick! Get £10 off the Max C Skull Print Maxi dress making it £35, or get £5 off the Worn Free Muhammad Ali 'Float Like A Butterfly' t-shirt in white, making it £27. Both of those prices make them cheaper than buying them directly from the label's websites!

Had an impromptu visit to RedRock Fashion HQ yesterday and had a peek at some of the pieces appearing in their London show next week. All I can divulge is that high waist skirts with crop tees are a key look, as is velvety fabrics, a bit of shimmer and shine, and bleached out patterns (as I've said before, it's like tie-dying but with balls). It's all amazing, and hopefully we'll be able to bring you some of the gorgeous new pieces once they are done wowing the capital. If they've not become far too massive to return our calls by then! :)

Pick Of The Day today is this D'n'J Twisted bag. Handmade in Wellingborough, it's made from panels of different denim-look floral fabrics, and sewn on a twisted seam which gives it a distinctive look and makes it hang really nicely. Well made, each bag is different, and whilst lightweight it is big enough to fit in all your essentials! Only have one in this style in stock, although if you look at the D'n'J section of the site, you can see other Twisted bags in different colours and patterns, as well as some of their other designs. D'n'J is a small local label, producing handmade bags, purses, and artist and make-up rolls, as well as getting ready to launch their own range of hand painted wooden jewellery and trinket boxes (we've seen them, they're awesome, escpecially the Space Invaders one!). Click the link below to see this bag on our website and shop!

Click here to buy the D'n'J Twisted Bag in Denim Floral on the Unorthodox online shop.

Almost the weekend, so have a good Friday everyone, and don't forget to check out those special offers.

Bank Holiday Blues

Morning,

So did everyone have a good bank holiday? I may have overindulged a little so suffering today! Still, I'm here for all of your fashion needs so pop in, or if you see anything you like online, give us a call and we'll send it out to you. Website is almost ready so that will make it even easier for those of you too far away from the shop.

Went to the bank holiday mini fest down the road at The Horseshoe Inn yesterday and caught some great local bands, Those Without Sin, The Tea Rooms, The Transmission, Ali Blake, and The Liabilities. What's more, The Liabilities frontman (and Unorthodox model) Steve was wearing one of our Worn Free John Lennon New York City t-shirts and looked great. We also got a shout out from sound man/DJ Mutley, so all in all, a good night! For those who are in the area, and fancy checking out some good music, Retrobeat is at the Horseshoe on Saturday 18th September, with Leeds band We Sell Seashells, and DJs including yours truly.

Pick Of The Day is this RedRock Fashion brown bleach out tunic vest. RedRock have their first Brick Lane show coming up soon, so get in there now and own something by this up and coming label. This top is only £22, and is really flattering. The bleached out effect makes it really stand out (bleaching, it's like tie-dying but with balls!). They come in Small, Medium and Large, and we only have a limited number in stock at the moment so grab them while you can!

Hope you've not got the bank holiday blues about going back to work, but if you do, retail therapy might be in order!

The Runaways

Morning,

The Runaways is the new movie about the 1970s girl band of the same name, that included Joan Jett. It's out in the UK on September 10th, and stars Kristen Stewart (she of the Twilight films) and Dakota Fanning.

As we're quite looking forward to this flick, I thought pick of the day should be one of our Joan Jett t-shirts by Worn Free. Modelled here by Steve, we currently have this in stock in sizes starting at Extra Small, so it's perfect for girls too. It's a fully licensed replica of the Knockout t-shirt worn by Joan Jett in New York in 1981, and comes with the famous Worn Free swingtag/sticker showing Ms Jett in the original. All the Worn Free tees are fantastic quality, and the ones I've had have washed really well and lasted me years, so they're well worth the bit of extra cash. All our Worn Free t-shirts are priced at £32.

All ready for the weekend?

Men At Work

Morning,

The roadworks on Sheep/Silver Street in Wellingborough are now up by the shop. We know this doesn't make for the most attractive or peaceful shopping environment, so to thank our customers for their loyalty and patience, we're running a special offer until the close of business on Saturday (7th August). Until then, if you come in and give us the codewords 'Roadworks Treat' (and try not to feel too daft!) we'll give you £5 off any item of clothing by Max C, Iska, Special Evening, Worn Free or WAM Apparel.

In light of this offer, I thought I'd take another look at a previous Pick of the Day that is included in it. This Worn Free t-shirt is a replica of one worn by Keith Moon. We also have it available in white. Normally it's £32, but if you use the £5 discount in the offer, it will come to only £27! Never been a better time to check out the range of Worn Free tees we have in stock (once you've tried them, you'll be hooked!).

Oh dear, the drilling has started again!

Celeb Spotting


Morning,

You can imagine my excitement when I returned home from a meeting with our web designer, Rich, yesterday, to find that Gossip Girl actress and singer with The Pretty Reckless, Taylor Momsen, had been photographed in the Worn Free "as worn by" John Lennon New York City t-shirt that we have in stock. A controversial figure, love her or loathe her, Ms Momsen definitely has an individual look, and that's what we're all about here at Unorthodox. We know the pieces we choose for you to peruse are awesome, it's just nice when someone famous seems to agree! The full article and shoot can be seen on MTV's site here.

Whilst I know we have already had this t-shirt as pick of the day, I think it's worth doing it again since it's getting attention! Made of 100% cotton, and fantastic quality like all the Worn Free tees, it comes with the iconic Worn Free tag showing John Lennon wearing the original in New York, 1974. For those not familiar with them, Worn Free is a California label who make fully licensed reproductions of t-shirts worn by various classic stars such as Mr Lennon, Joan Jett, Joey Ramone, Debbie Harry, Keith Moon, the list goes on. It's an original spin on the whole idea of wearing your musical tastes on your chest, and far more interesting than just another band t-shirt. We have these in a range of sizes from Small to XL, and they are priced at £32.00 each.

Off to write the legal jargon for the online shop. Minutes of fun.
