Tewkesbury-based lifestyle and leisurewear brand, Weird Fish, is marking its 25th anniversary with the revival of some of its classic designs.

The Weird Fish story began in October 1993, inspired after a walk along a coast path in Cornwall. The brand set out with a simple mission, to produce well-priced, well made and distinctive clothes that become instant feel-good favourites.

Twenty five years later, Weird Fish says it is proud to still have the same founding values reflecting its strapline 'Wear the Weekend.'

The original brand concept was based on artist T-shirts, after discovering a unique airbrushing technique. There was a rising demand for the original designs featuring the 'Weird Fish' and from this, the brand was born.

Weird Fish is renowned for its Macaroni sweatshirt range, which uses a triple-twist yarn, originally discovered in Turkey. The Macaroni has been with Weird Fish since the brand's beginning and is still its most popular range, loved for its quality, comfort and individuality.

The company now has 15 own stores, 20 concessions and over 400 wholesale stockists spread across the country.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Weird Fish will be promoting its 'new' heritage Macaroni range. Classic Macaroni styles such as the Cruiser will return, showcasing original designs, including the return of the much-loved metal fish zip pulls, all at 1993 prices.

In addition Weird Fish will immortalise its classic logo on several retro print T-shirts, 'Big Bang' and 'Evolution' which will be available online throughout November.

John Stockton, managing director at Weird Fish, commented: "This very special anniversary is all about celebrating our heritage and the designs that made us who we are. We are really proud to champion the Macaroni range and we have gone back to basic with our classic heritage designs and brought back our much-loved metal fish bones zip pull.

"We're so proud to have reached our 25th year and we'd like to thank all of our loyal customers and hardworking staff for helping us get to where we are today."
