Forest Ink
Forest Ink is an independently owned goth and alternative fashion label founded in 2009 by mother-and-son team Beth and Zach Welch. What began as a small Texas-based collection of t-shirts and camisoles has grown into a full clothing and swimwear label inspired by the darker side of fashion and the subcultures that surround it, produced in SA8000-certified, sweatshop-free facilities across an inclusive size range from XXS to 5XL.

Skirts, Pants & Tops
The M-line Buckle Skirt adds hardware-inspired detailing to a stretch silhouette, the Low Rise Alice Flare Pants bring a low-rise waist and flared leg to the lineup, and the Divinity Long Sleeve Top pairs a fitted shape with a statement cross motif and mesh paneling.

Faux & Vegan Leather
Faux leather runs through much of the Forest Ink aesthetic, the pebbled faux leather Fantasia Mini Dress and Corset, and the vegan leather Opium Vest with its corsetry-inspired zip detailing, all deliver a leather-inspired look without traditional leather.
Swimwear
Forest Ink's alternative aesthetic extends to swimwear: the Salem One Piece features fishnet and buckle details over a high-stretch 82% nylon, 18% spandex, 310 GSM fabric with a heavy-duty YKK zip, while the Tombstone One Piece has a high-cut cheeky fit with adjustable corset detailing. Both are available from XXS through 5XL. Browse Bodysuits for more one-piece styles.

Forest Ink offers an inclusive size range from XXS through 5XL across its clothing and swimwear, produced in SA8000-certified, sweatshop-free facilities. Individual products may have different available sizes, so check each product's size chart before ordering.
