Weekend Offender is a British brand you need to know about. Their unique designs have made the Welsh brand a fan favourite, with graphic tees and jackets on everyone’s must-have list.
But while they’ve become a bit of a cult brand, not much is known about Weekend Offender. Read on to find out more.
Weekend Offender is a British brand
Launched in 2004 by friends Sam Jones and Rhydian Powell, Weekend Offender is a Welsh brand with a difference.
Inspired by the vibrant subcultures of their South Wales hometown, Sam and Rhydian saw a gap in the market for clothing that wasn’t just to be worn, but to be lived in.
Weekend Offender’s designs are profoundly influenced by the fierce loyalty of football fans, the rebellious anthems of seminal musicians, and the gritty narratives and raw, unfiltered characters of cult films and television shows.
It’s all about the weekend
Weekend Offender echoes the spirit of the weekend and the unapologetic attitude of those who count down every minute until Friday night. The brand stands for more than just fashion and symbolises a lifestyle, a community, a form of expression.
From the local pubs to the football terraces, from underground gigs to the back alleys and beyond, Weekend Offender has grown to be a badge of honour among the bold, the spirited, and the defiant.
Crafted for the individual who stands out from the crowd, Weekend Offender is synonymous with bold prints, high quality fabrics, and unique designs that carry a story, an attitude, and an edge.
Breaking new ground
Building on the success of their Menswear collections, Weekend Offender launched Kidswear in 2018. Laid-back, weekend-ready styles crafted with the same fabrics, colours, and attention to detail that fans have come to expect from Weekend Offender are available for boys and girls from ages 4-14
Weekend Offender has also just launched their new Plus Size edit. Combining classic pieces with a contemporary edge, all designs have dropped in a fresh new colour palette, carefully selected for the months ahead. It’s available in sizes 4XL, 5XL and 6XL, so everyone can get a chance to wear the brand’s unique designs.
