the artist 

We’re proud to collaborate with Ruth Beck, an artist born and raised in Highbury, just a stone’s throw from the Arsenal stadium. Ruth grew up surrounded by the energy of match days, the colours of red and white, and the streets of Islington that shaped her childhood. Today, she channels those memories into delicate watercolour paintings, each capturing the borough’s character, landmarks, and local spirit.

Her work is both deeply personal and instantly recognisable — from familiar corners of Highbury to the energy of Islington life. These paintings aren’t just art; they’re living memories of a community, lovingly reimagined through brush and colour.

For this exclusive collaboration, we’ve reinterpreted some of Ruth’s most beloved pieces into a collection of tote bags, sweatshirts, and T-shirts, designed to carry a piece of Islington’s story with you, wherever you go. Each piece is made to order, blending timeless streetwear with Ruth’s heartfelt artistry.
