Vintage 1996 Cradle of Filth “Black Goddess” Long Sleeve - size XL
Ultra-rare officially licensed European edition of the Black Goddess Rises long sleeve from 1996 — distinct from the more common US release. This version features unique sleeve detailing with the She Wolves And Succubi print, alongside a series of infernal names and sigils, making it a standout among Cradle of Filth collectors.
Thick, softened cotton with double sleeve prints, front and back graphics, and a perfectly worn-in patina. The underarm has a hole and the cuffs are frayed — signs of authentic wear, not artificial distressing. Faded to perfection, the piece carries the full atmosphere of 90s black metal aesthetics.
An elite artifact from the golden age of extreme metal merch. Not for the faint of heart.

Product information
Take care of your clothes and they’ll last beyond seasons.
-
Wash less, air more.
-
Follow fabric-specific care: wool and silk prefer gentle hand wash or dry cleaning; cotton and synthetics can be washed cold.
-
Avoid tumble drying when possible — it shortens the lifespan of fibers.
-
Store knits folded, not hung, to keep their shape.
-
Leather ages best with occasional conditioning and proper storage.
Cotton
A fabric that carries everyday life. Breathable and versatile, softening with time and wear. Denim and jersey tell their stories through fading, stretching, and the patina of repeated use. We value cotton for its honesty — a fabric that grows better with you.
Wool
A natural insulator, warm yet breathable. Wool regulates temperature, resists odor, and is built for longevity. From fine merino to heavy knits, it balances softness and strength. We see wool as a living material — one that requires care but rewards it with decades of use.
Linen
Light, durable, and textured. Linen creases not as a flaw, but as its language: marks of movement, evidence of wear. It is strongest in simplicity — airy shirts, loose trousers, summer layers that hold both fragility and resilience.
Silk
Smooth, lustrous, delicate. Silk carries light differently from any other fabric — it reflects, shimmers, and changes with movement. While fragile to care for, it is unmatched in presence. We treat silk as a fabric of occasion and attention.
Leather
A material that never stops evolving. Leather holds memory — every crease, scratch, and patina is a record of time. Conditioned and cared for, it lasts for generations. We see leather as a dialogue between craft and use, where the wearer becomes part of its design.
Blends
Sometimes fabrics are combined — natural with synthetic — to create balance: strength, flexibility, stretch, or weather resistance. We respect blends when they serve purpose and longevity, not trend. A thoughtful blend can bring durability and comfort without compromise.
