Discover Pauzewear: The Tunbridge Wells Label Doing Fashion Differently
In a world dominated by fast fashion and overseas manufacturing, one Tunbridge Wells entrepreneur is flipping the script. Meet Gav Pauze, founder of Pauzewear, a premium streetwear brand that’s all about quality, authenticity, and keeping things local. Rooted in music, identity, and creative expression, Pauzewear isn’t chasing trends—it’s creating timeless pieces that resonate with your vibe.
From Music to Streetwear: Gav’s Inspiring Journey
Gav’s story is as unique as his designs. With over 30 years in music and radio, including hosting his own show and running Pauzeradio.com for 19 years, a head injury in 2004 turned music into his recovery tool. Fast forward to today, and that passion has evolved into Pauzewear—a brand that blends rhythmic roots with street style. Every garment tells a story, designed right here in Tunbridge Wells by Gav or local graphic artists, then printed by trusted UK suppliers.
Unlike big brands outsourcing to cut costs, Pauzewear keeps production 100% UK-based. This means supporting British businesses, ensuring ethical practices, and delivering superior quality that lasts. No fulfillment centers, no overseas factories—just hands-on craftsmanship from real people who care.
What Makes Pauzewear Stand Out?
- Music-Inspired Designs: Collections like “People’s Choice” feature tees and hoodies with nods to rhythms, analogues, and basslines. Think Jungle General T-Shirts in Military Green or Lion Ghillie Hoodies in Olive—perfect for expressing your creative side.
- Premium Quality & Sustainability: Soft, durable fabrics that feel luxurious and hold up wash after wash. Eco-friendly, recyclable packaging turns every delivery into an experience, complete with stickers and thoughtful touches.
- Community-Focused: Join the Pauzewear Collective and get 15% off your first order. They even turn customer review photos into custom cartoon characters—talk about personal!
Pauzewear embodies slow fashion: valuing people over automation, community over mass production, and craftsmanship that matters. As Gav puts it, it’s about turning a lifetime in creative culture into wearable art.
