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.

Welcome to this gothic wedding shoot organised by Garnet Weddings and captured by Gem Wright Photography, a mesmerizing blend of black and white; where every detail is meticulously crafted to embrace the dark beauty and unique charm of this gothic style. This extraordinary event is accented by elements of spider webs, skulls and two captivating brides - one adorned in black, the other in white - creating a striking visual contrast that enchants the soul.

The Gothic Luxe Wedding Fair was held last month at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall and it has left an indelible mark on all of us, both visitors and vendors alike. A celebration of love wrapped in a dark and untraditional atmosphere. The success of this show has left us buzzing with excitement and we couldn’t let the excitement fade without sharing more of the event with you.

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!
