Rough Trade partners with Vans to introduce vinyl records range in select stores
Rough Trade has joined forces with Vans to bring a selection of vinyl records to three Vans stores in London and Paris.
For nearly 50 years, Rough Trade has been more than a record shop – a cultural hub where music fans connect with the artists shaping their world. Since opening in West London in 1976, Rough Trade has championed counterculture, community and creativity, with live in-store performances from legends such as Beastie Boys, PJ Harvey, Blur, Queens of the Stone Age, Björk, Jack White and Little Simz. With a fierce commitment to the physical format and the discovery of new music, Rough Trade continues to be a trusted space for fans to find the records that matter.
Since 1966, Vans has stood as a global symbol of self-expression, born in California and rooted in skateboarding. From the first deck-gripping rubber sole to a worldwide community of skaters, surfers, artists and musicians, Vans has always been about enabling creativity on and off the board. The brand’s “Off the Wall” spirit celebrates those who do things their own way, inspiring generations to embrace individuality and live authentically.
Both brands share an ethos built on independence, collaboration and the culture that grows when people come together. It’s about more than selling music or fashion, it’s about creating spaces where creativity thrives, whether on a turntable or a skate deck.
Subscribe to TRBHandpicked by Rough Trade, the 50-strong vinyl selection landing in Vans stores is designed to surprise and inspire, blending underground breakthroughs, cult favourites and timeless classics.

Whether it’s the kick you get from discovering a standout debut or rediscovering a cult favourite, each title is there for a reason.
The vinyl range has launched at three Vans stores in Oxford Street (London flagship), Camden Town, and Le Marais in Paris.
