ABOUT US

[the story]

Sting Me started simply as a creative outlet. Painting designs on my old pairs of jeans allowed me to inject new life into pieces I had stopped wearing. I was caught up in a cycle of buying new things whenever the old lost its novelty.

As I delved deeper into this creative project, my painted designs caught the eyes of friends, family, and even strangers on the street. What started as a personal experiment quickly grew into something more exciting.

I realized I could turn this project into a sustainable business, and with that "Eureka" moment, I transitioned from paint to print, incorporating screen printing as my primary medium. It allowed me to scale the designs, maintain consistent quality, and offer a wider range of products. Originally “Stinger Jeans”, I took my designs to marketplaces in Bristol and found that they suited the streetstyle scene there well. Now London-based “Sting Me” aims to bring these second-hand pieces to more people in the hopes that they will fit in nicely into the upcycling revolution.

Every piece in the collections has a history, and a chapter is added to each story with bold, sleek screen-printed designs. By upcycling second-hand clothing, Sting Me aims to divert garments one at a time from landfills, and give them a new lease on life.
