About Us
Our Story: More Than Just a Design
We believe what you wear should mean something. It should tell a story. Your story.
Kenton Designs UK was born from a search for something real. I was tired of generic clothing that didn't capture the spirit of the things that matter most: the music that shapes us, the battles we overcome, and the pride we have in who we are.
So, I decided to create what I couldn't find.
The Heartbeat Behind the Brand
My journey here has been shaped by three things: service, music, and survival.
I served in the British Army’, an experience that forged my values of loyalty, camaraderie, and discipline. After leaving the military, I worked in telecommunications across the globe, but music was always the constant. From the Manchester scene, to the euphoric nights of 90s house and rave, and more recently my discovery of Northern Soul, music has been my refuge and my inspiration.
But like many of us, I’ve also fought battles that no one sees. My own struggles with depression, anxiety, and addiction taught me about resilience, but they also left me fragile. This brand is more than just a business; it’s an expression of survival. It’s my way of turning hope and connection into something you can wear.
I've found that when the mind is engaged in creation, there's little space for overthinking. So here we are.

These principles are at the core of everything that we do. They are non-negotiable.

Who We're For
Kenton Designs UK is for the music lovers, the survivors, the patriots, and those still searching for light in the dark. It’s for anyone who connects with what we create. If our designs spark a memory, start a conversation, or simply make you feel understood, then we’ve done our job.
Our vision is to grow a community of fans who share these passions and to build a platform for expression—a reminder that clothing isn’t just something we wear; it’s the way to tell our stories.
