A WOMAN has set up a business making clothes and accessories for the children of Goths, the alternative movement of people who dress in dark clothes.
Lynsey Rowe, 32, is producing bibs in black, purple and deep blue and baby slings at the premises of her company, There by the Grace of Goth, in Day Street, Barnsley.
Lynsey, who was Goth when she was 14, making the clothing on a sewing machine.
She said: “I have been making clothes since I was 12 but it is only now that I have decided to turn it into a business.
“Other companies do things like ‘punky’ T shorts featuring 1970s’ bands like the Sex Pistols and The Ramones for children but they are mass produced. My stuff is bespoke.
“As far as I am aware, there is nothing on the market which appeals to children of people who like to wear Gothic alternative clothes.â€
She produces three types of baby slings including one in an east Asian style.
Lynsey, who lives in Penistone, grew up in Manchester and after school was a dance teacher and nursery nurse.
She has worked for The Body Shop, W H Smith and as a florist.
