Professional skateboarder, Keith Hufnagel founded HUF Worldwide in 2002. In addition to carrying exclusive products from the most respected skate, street and sneaker brands, HUF began producing its own clothing. HUF-branded apparel was immediately in high demand and Hufnagel ultimately shifted his focus to creating a full wholesale product line – resulting in one of the most sought after brands in the skate and streetwear communities.

The story of Blue Banana has simple beginnings. From 1997 we have sold an awesome range of body jewellery and novelty gifts. Blue Banana has always tried to provide things which are not readily available in mainstream stores, we’re proud to say this is still the plan after all these years.
For a seriously long time Blue Banana has been the place to go for emo clothing, scene styles, punk clothes and gothic attire. Over time the names and trends have changed but we keep a keen eye on alternative fashion and listen to you, our friends, about the most amazing stuff to stock. Our range of skinny jeans is forever growing, it’s a popular style so we’d like everyone to have a colour to suit them. The range of brands we carry is forever changing, but some of the best and most long standing favourites here at Blue Banana are Atticus, Famous Stars and Straps Clothing, Criminal Damage Clothing, Poizen Industries, Lowlife, Iron Fist, Dickies, Vans, Converse, and Osiris.
Being involved with alternative styles cannot be separated from the music which inspires it. From new bands we promote to the bands that thousands of you love, we’re always trying to stock the right combination of music genres to keep all our friends happy and covered in band merchandise. We’ve recently added an iTunes store to the site, so we can be the only destination for everything you care about. Festivals are such an awesome musical experience that we have decided we need to get involved! From the festival guides on our website to all the festival gear you could need Blue Banana is the place to look.
