Longsands Clothing Co. Created with love. Made in the North. Conceived in 2008 by a couple of students trying to make an extra buck to pay for their next snowboard holiday - Longsands Clothing was created with the idea of offering a British alternative to the big California surf brands we all know and love. Local market stalls were a success and after a few years of fun, a real plan was put in place to make Longsands a true British adventure brand.
