Japanese brand selling Scottish location t-shirts including North Lanarkshire

A Japanese designer is selling a series of t-shirts online with the names of random locations in Scotland scrawled across them including North Lanarkshire.

Shoo-La-Rue’s Cutie Blonde range has left social media users in stitches after images were shared of models wearing tops featuring the likes of Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and West Lothian.

The North Lanarkshire t-shirt is embroidered with flowers and is advertised on the World Online Store website at £7.20 (1,489 Yen).

Universities in Scotland have their own ranges of prep-school style clothing featuring their names – but applying the aesthetic to the likes of North Lanarkshire has drawn the attention of users on social media.

A viral tweet from more than five years ago was reshared. It asked the question: “See how Scottish people wear tops that say ‘New York’ and ‘LA’ do people from America wear tops saying ‘Arbroath’ or ‘ East Kilbride ’.”

X user @mitch_2123 wrote: “Well there ye go. Japanese people wear tops that say Falkirk.”

The post has since gone viral and has been viewed over 650,000 times. One person said: “What is the company’s details? I think Scottish people would love this!”

Another said: “I really need one that says Inverclyde on it.” A third added: “This is class!”
