Born in Manchester during the late 1980s, Bench emerged in the middle of a cultural movement—where skateboarding, BMX, and the iconic 'Madchester' music era were shaping a whole new urban generation. Rooted in this vibrant street culture, Bench began creating apparel that reflected the energy, creativity, and lifestyle of the people around it.

This was a time when weekend living became a movement, and Bench was right there—capturing that spirit with clothing designed for real life in the city.

From local beginnings to international reach, the brand has evolved while staying grounded in its original mission: crafting innovative, on-trend streetwear inspired by everyday people and their dynamic lives.

Today, you’ll still find Bench at the pulse of culture—on stages at music festivals, in clubs, and in the digital lives of content creators and influencers. As we embrace new technologies and platforms, we’re making Bench more accessible to a global community that shares our streetwise attitude and love for originality.

This isn't a return—it’s a reset. A reinvention of the UK’s first authentic streetwear brand. Bench is stepping forward with a fresh perspective, youth still at its core.
