Battleaxe Jackets

Custom hand painted and studded jackets

Battleaxe Jackets was founded by me, Kirstie back in 2018. I am a born and bred London girl and have drawn inspiration from the rock and metal scene over the years, and the vibrant creative community that we are so lucky to have here.

Combining my passions for the alternative and my skills as a painter, I create unique custom hand painted and hand studded pieces for people who like to make a statement.

The clothing is my canvas and every piece is painted with careful attention to detail, using only the highest quality paints suitable for garments.

Articles featuring Battleaxe Jackets… coming soon

Today’s feature not only stuns you with gorgeous vibrant styling and imagery, but it carries a message just as loud… Still Bisexual!

Dealing with the phenomenon of bi-erasure… being perceived as no longer bisexual when you get married, is a common assumption made by wider society based solely on outward appearances.

The shoot itself is breath-taking, loud and unapologetic. The team created the perfect antidote to soft pink cuteness; skulls, spikes and leopard print infused, but still girly! and we are here for it!

The story behind this luxury gothic shoot was to inspire couples to defy tradition by incorporating a stronger theme within their wedding. We also wanted to showcase that you don’t necessarily need to ‘look alternative’ to have a non-traditional wedding.
