Why are clowns so divisive? people either love them or are scared of them. I always remember my food hero Anthony Bourdain hating clowns, it makes me remember him in a nice way. 

Personally, i love clown aesthetics, the bright colours and over the top funny person look covers up a mutitude of emotions underneath- whether it be childhood nostalgia or vintage chic, we all have memories of clowns.🤡 

Here are some of my favourite clown images, that has inspired my latest range of bag charms and accessories.

Did you go to the travelling circus when you were a kid ? We had fun fairs but there were always a fair amount of clown graphics around, posters, signs and motifs. Even Ronald McDonald is a clown, the brand doesn’t put Poor old Ronald forward all that much these days. Seems like Mc Donald’s has changed its branding a lot since the 80s when i grew up.

From the bedroom and etsy to the catwalk, clowns have inspired many designers across all kinds of product groups in their colourful designs.

The colours of red, blue and yellow are a distinct palette for clowncore.

As part of the clowncore range at Goodordering, i have included some vintage pieces that i found at Charity shops in sweden during my recent summer holiday.

 From toys to socks, this naive aesthetic is childlike and this simplicity is my favourite aspect of this trend.
