Love Amongst Ruin would like ideas from you as to what merchandise you would like to see available at the online store when it is up and running. So this is your chance to say what you want to wear, look at or dangle about your person to promote the dark side! Post your ideas here - thanks guys Edit: I should add that you might also want to indicate what sort of design you like, eg the LAR logo, the roses etc. It's not going to be a 'made to order' service *lol*, but it would be useful to see what's popular with people.

I have suggested this already but wristbands are very popular now days and a good way of marketing the band as people tend to wear them for as long as they wear off...(E.g. Festival wristbands!) If they had like 'Love Amongst Ruin' or like the barfly badges ' I kept the faith...Love Amongst Ruin' or something along those lines then people may ask what/who/where its from and therefore spreads to the LAR word!

^I like that idea And zip-up hoodies, as Zee said. Bags also (the canvassy shopping bag type). And we can have LAR chocolate can't we - no-one does that and it would be can be either a standard chocolate bar in a LAR (album cover?) designed wrapper (the Red Arrows did that as merch about 15 years ago and I have it still!) or could be LAR initials actually moulded into the chocolate. Or both. I would buy much LAR chocolate.... Oh, and clothes-wise black is good Even tho LAR have persuaded me to buy the first white t-shirt I've owned in about 20 years, lack of dark colours has always been my problem with merch from that certain other band. And this is the darkside after all poetress x

Clotheswise: black is good. <3 I really want a pretty, skinny style ts-shirt / v neck top. With the rose design would be fab.
I have an old leeds fest t-shirt with roses - its 4 years old and gets worn the most. Yes its girlie - but come on - guys get loads more stuff designed than girls! Pretty is <3
Also - I concur on hoodies. I love them, so warm and comfy.. but best with zips as more wearable.
Other stuff - I confess I'm not the person to ask. I don't buys badges/bags as bands stuff isn't usually practical. Not a fan of tote bags... stuff gets too easily stolen from them! Or lost.
But jewellery would be LARvely (will that ever get old? :-p) Necklaces especially...
And LAR lunchboxes!!! I would buy that. Useful and quirky.

rings, necklaces (as mentioned before), hoodies (zip up like Zee said), all different types of tees, bags.
I have to say the lunchbox is a brilliant idea. I would end up using it like a "purse" myself :-D. Buttons to decorate my bags and other sweaters and shirts.
I would love anything with the rose design really.
I think everything else has been mentioned for now.
I personally don't mind what color shirts they sell.

id love a lunchbox, im a total dork when it comes to collecting them...though only the metal ones, theyre just better zip hoodies and fitted tees are <3 !!! a messenger bag, i find totes to be and look increadibly cheep, plus theyre good for carrying round laptops in (well the 10" ones) which also brings me to....laptop bags....who in this day and age doesnt really own a laptop, and how many of us dont travel with them!! its hard to come across nice laptop bags!! and because im totally quirky.......action figures!!! who wouldnt want a bath with the guys

I'd actually be more interested in a tshirt that wasn't black, or white. The majority of my wardrobe is black, and white isn't practical for my messy, clumbsy self But fitted girls' ones, yes - please. Ditto on a fitted hoodie. And hells yeah for a necklace! I keep quite the collection around my neck and would love some LAR. A design that never fails (and is easy/cheap to produce) is a metal pick - this has been my favourite necklace since I bought it. (and also fairly unisex, so boys could wear it too) Then I'd love the general kind of merch most bands tend to have- Button badges and sticker packs.
