A vintage and retro business has launched its debut clothing collection.
Moody Mabel, based in Monmouthshire and founded by vintage specialist Phil Terrett, has unveiled its first range of clothing and accessories under the 'Old Souls' label.
The collection features ethically made unisex T-shirts, hoodies, and tote bags, all printed with minimalist, nostalgic slogans that capture the spirit of the past.
Mr Terrett, who describes the collection as "capturing the spirit of salvage, the poetry of patina, and the gentleness of slow style," said: "I came up with the idea for the clothing range for people who, like me, love vintage, antiques, and all things with a story.
"Moody Mabel has always been about celebrating character and the beauty of imperfection.
"'Old Souls' is another way to share that message, but this time through fashion."
The range features six vintage-inspired slogans, including 'Reloved, Reused and Remarkable,' 'I don't buy new I buy stories,' and 'They made things properly back then.'
Mr Terrett said the slogan 'I don't buy new, I buy stories' reflects the emotional connection people have with objects from the past.
He said: "People buy things with a story behind them that they can take home and become a discussion point with visitors.
"I attach a little laminated story to some of the items I sell that gives a mixture of its provenance and background to give new owners that sense of history."

Moody Mabel is already well-established among collectors and vintage fans for its eclectic mix of antiques, curios, and reimagined treasures, including refurbished step stools and printer's trays turned into tables.
The business operates primarily online but also has a retail presence at The Malthouse Collective in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Mr Terrett's journey began in 2016 with his late wife Ruth.
He said: "We bought a few things at auction, sold them on Ebay and enjoyed it so much that we built a Shopify website and the business grew from there."
In 2019, the couple turned their shared passion for antiques and retro items into a thriving new business after attending a local antique auction.
Following Ruth's passing, Mr Terrett relocated Moody Mabel's retail space to The Malthouse Collective, home to the Cotswolds' largest antique centre.
He has always collected 'things' from a young age and has a passion for the Georgian and Edwardian eras.
He said: "I appreciate good design and buy things that I like that I would want in my own home."

Items for sale through Moody Mabel include mixing bowls, Turkish olive wood bread boards, mirrors, interesting books, furniture, vases, hand tools, and blankets.
Mr Terrett said the same ethos underpins the new clothing collection.
He said: "For me, 'Old Souls' is about sharing a love of the past and giving people something they can connect with, a design that carries personality and a sense of history."
