Celebrating over 18 years of Vinyl Vandals... We Are Raya illustration
To celebrate over 18 years of Vinyl Vandals and mark the year our apparel would fall into dormancy, it was only right that we found a way to transcend through the memories of time...
It was a pleasure to collaborate with We Are Raya to create a Vinyl Vandals masterpiece that brings many memories in one banging illustration.
The music, vinyl, and fashion culture allowed the creative souls affiliated with the Vv brand to touch many.
From feeling the bass and groove or the many experiences with the Vv collective would always be a snapshot moment, remembered by a smile.
Acknowledging Vv clothing on another person would always bring a warm feeling, knowing the connection was pure and esoteric.
From the Yellow Vv business cards, Huddersfield Carnival Tent in the park, Vv Smart Car, Brown paper bags, The bedroom sessions in Manchester, Southport Weekend 46 chalet party, The famous Yorkshire Vv Cow, Customised T-shirt printing & countless one-off designs, DJ sets far & wide, Record boxes, Vinyl & Turntables, Nike Vandals & more, we hope you all remember the moments that built Vv into the brand it is today!
Thank you to the ladies at We Are Raya for bringing these memories back to life - follow we are Raya here

Vinyl Vandals apparel ends after 18 years of production...
On the 24th December, Vinyl Vandals apparel closes its doors for the foreseeable future after 18 years of production. The primary focus will continue to be music, especially in the Middle East.
The Vv team would like to thank everyone who has been involved on this incredible journey, and the plan is to one day bring the Vv apparel back and take it to another level.
This decision has nothing to do with COVID but everything to do with the progression of Vinyl Vandals and what is needed to take the brand forward, whilst supporting the needs of founder Chino aka Toyan Greaves.
Here from the man himself….
Huge sale now on until the doors close on the 24th December, get your final Vv piece today!
While stocks last…
Look back at some moments over the years!
