Same Switch Different Day

Hello and welcome to the first Switch 45 Blog for a long time. Over the last few months we have been undergoing a lot of changes - mainly our relocation from our old store into a much bigger and better one!

Our new address for those of you paying a visit is: 23 Holyrood Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 5AZ. You can still get us on the same phone number - (01983) 822243.

Alongside a change of location, we have now rebranded ourselves to be simply called 'Switch'. As a result we now have a brand new website address - www.switch-clothing.co.uk - although we're gonna hang on to the old URL (www.switch45.co.uk) for old times sakes (and for anyone who happens not to have noticed we've changed!)

Anyway we're proud to have added some legends in streetwear to our brand rosta, and can now boast Stussy, Boxfresh and Rogue Status alongside Gentle Fawn and Matix for the ladies. Stock is currently being uploaded to the website as fast as our internet connection can carry it, and you should be able to check out all our new ranges within a couple of weeks. For now though here are some damn useful links to some of the new gear thats brightening our store:

• Stussy at Switch
  


• Boxfresh at Switch


• Rogue Status at Switch

Check back here for updates, but we have some good stuff lined up over the next few weeks including uploads of all new stock, news of a Switch relaunch event, and images from the artwork pasting due in store from Obey.
