What Is Northern Dyehouse? Lancaster’s Home of Hand-Dyed Clothing

Meet Rach, Helen & the Colourful Chaos They Call a Business

Nestled in the heart of Lancaster is a little shop with big energy. Northern Dyehouse isn’t your average clothing brand — it’s a full-blown vibe. Born from the wild imagination of Rach (queen of colour and chaos) and backed by the ever-awesome Helen, this handmade haven is where bold meets beautiful.

We’re talking one-of-a-kind, hand-dyed clothing made in Lancaster that practically shouts “look at me!” — and rightly so. From acid-washed tees to rainbow-splattered hoodies, everything is made with heart, soul, and a whole lotta love.

Who Shops Here?

Everyone. Literally.

We’ve got festival-goers hunting for their next statement piece, tourists looking for a unique gift from Lancaster, and locals who pop in for a chat and leave with a bag full of colour. Whether you're 9 or ninety, there's something here that'll make you grin.

Why Northern Dyehouse Lancaster Does Handmade Better?

Because fast fashion is boring — and we’ve had enough of it. Every single piece at Northern Dyehouse is dyed by hand using high-quality fibre-reactive dyes, meaning no two items are ever the same.

You’re not just buying clothes — you’re buying wearable, washable, wonderfully weird art.

Our shop in Lancaster is always buzzing with colour and community — but you don’t have to live nearby to get in on the fun. Our online store ships across the UK, delivering joy in every parcel: smiley socks, statement tees, and eye-popping accessories.

(And yes, Rach has probably danced around your order before it left the shop. It’s part of the process. Don’t ask questions.)

Why Northern Dyehouse Exists

Because we believe in standing out, not blending in.

Our mission is simple:

👉 Celebrate colour

👉 Spread good vibes

👉 Help people feel awesome in what they wear

So whether you're stocking up for a festival, buying a birthday gift, or just want to treat yourself to something unapologetically YOU — welcome to the Dyehouse family.

Love ya, mean it 💖— Rach x
