Forest Ink

Forest Ink

Founded in Texas in 2009 by mother-and-son duo Beth and Zach Welch, Forest Ink is an independent fashion label known for dark aesthetics, alternative fashion, and subculture-inspired design. What began as a small collection of tees and camisoles has grown into an internationally recognized brand offering apparel and swimwear shaped by gothic, punk, and alternative influences. Rather than chasing fast-moving trends, Forest Ink focuses on refining fit, fabrics, and construction over time, creating pieces designed to feel intentional and long-lasting. Produced in SA-8000 certified facilities and developed across an inclusive size range, the brand balances responsible production with the distinctive style that has earned it a dedicated global following.
