We launched Gender Free World in February 2016 and since then have produced over 72 different shirt patterns, 13 designs of boxers shorts, pyjamas, T-Shirts and socks to name a few of our products. We have made over 15 thousand customers happy, and for that we are immensely proud. However, it is with regret that we must announce a pause in operations. Despite our small but dedicated team, we have struggled to achieve the scale needed to sustain the business. Rising costs, supply issues, Brexit, and various challenges have made this difficult decision unavoidable. We will be closing our ph ..read more

How do you know if someone is queer?

By Beth Kennedy We’re here, we’re queer...but how can we signal this without saying anything? Queer signalling has been around for decades. In the 70s, LGBTQI+ signalled to one another using a handkerchief system. They would put hankies in their back pocket or their waistbands and each colour signalled a specific sexual preference and specific kinks. There were several variations of the hanky code, so if you’d like to find out more about this slice of LGBTQI+ history, take a look at this great article about flagging (TW: lots of very explicit sexual language). Flagging is not so common now, t ..read more

The Power of Cothing for Self Expression - A personal Journey
Gender Free World Blog
by Lisa Honan

Guest blog by William Elizabeth Cuthbert Dressing for your gender identity can change everything about how you move through life. Confidence, posture, accepting compliments or opening up around others, can all shift towards how you are inside. But it can also reveal ways you’ve never imagined you could feel about yourself, as I found when I needed an outfit for two family weddings in 2021. Two ceremonies, one weekend, maximum pressure. At my sister-in-law’s, in the stately surroundings of Kenwick Park Hotel in the Lincolnshire Wolds, I hoped to make an impression as a member of the bridal part ..read more

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our Pride Socks! Lisa, our amazing founder, explained: “We originally wanted to do the Progress Pride flag but, with 9 colours, the manufacturing equipment wasn’t up to it.” However unfortunate it may be that we couldn’t include all the colours, we thought we’d break down exactly what the Progress Pride flag colours represent and their importance. Where does the Progress Pride flag come from? In 2017, Philadelphia introduced a “More Colour, More Pride” flag as part of a campaign from the state’s Office of LGBT Affairs. They added both a black stripe an ..read more

By GFW Director Lisa Honan Since we launched back in 2016 we have been committed to making in the UK for a number of reasons. As a new brand it was easier to work with a UK supplier, we could visit and learn about the production process especially with our different body shapes and multiple sizing. Our first factory was very helpful as they allowed us to make small runs which was essential in testing out the market. Of course garments made in the UK and then later when we used a Spanish supplier, cost more than than very large orders made in the developing world where workers are pai ..read more
