Raven is the ultimate classic trad goth colour...black! This velvety black is inspired by the iridescent feathers of ravens, and as it is green based it's great for covering over unwanted red tones in the hair! Perfect for those who want luscious gothic black locks without the commitment of a permanent dye. This shade will provide more long lasting and true black results on bleached hair, though it can also be used to tint unbleached hair.

My husband is allergic to permanent hair dye so I use manic panic raven as a replacement. I have light brown fine mid-length hair and one tub covers completely. I get a full deep black colour, the trick is to leave it on for as long as possible, I sleep in it with a towel and clingfilm. No damage and a lovely colour, been using it for years now with no issues.

Great but caveat
I love Manic Panic and have used this before. Easy to apply and hair feels great afterwards, and minimal staining. Recently I have stopped bleaching my hair and I've been trying to find a black semi-permanent dye to go over my natural auburn hair. Although this dye is fantastic and did darken my hair, it did not get it close to black. I would recommend it for lighter hair, though.

Love!
Love this! Its an amazing layer top. The fabric catches the light which adds an interesting dimension to an all black outfit.
Been a frequent return customer to Kates Clothing. I love this shop so much. Beautiful alt clothing at a more reasonable price
Highly recommend
What can I say? Team Kate despatched items super quick so I tried them out at an Australian Pink Floyd gig....my eldest son didn't melt into a puddle of beard fur and there were no signs of deflated pink kangaroos/pigs. Was apprehensive about the nail varnish as some of ones I tried in past were useless and flaked off instantly, this one looked great under the venue lights, next time I'll use a better quality top coat though. Pumpkin spice eyeshadow was easy to apply and felt velvety soft and looked great and the holographic shimmer was a bit hypnotic for an Neurodivergent like myself. The metallic lippy was fantastic, it stayed put through food, drink, dreadful operatics (my son's not the backing singers!) and medications and hormonal HRT horrors. The lippy came off easily with creamy remover and didn't make my lips look like shriveled dead slugs. Another totally amazing experience with collaboration of Kate's & Unicorns
I Recently purchased the Dark in Love Camazotz Vampire Bat Shaped Caplet in Black & Blood Red. This cute little capelet is such a nice little addition to almost any skirt or dress, especially for Halloween/Samhain functions. However I'll happily wear it anytime to dress up an outfit.
I bought this for a themed party but it is so gorgeous, I can wear it all the time. I ordered 2 different sizes as I wanted a slighter tighter fit. The buckel details mean that you can tighten or loosen it so it will be great for various sizes. The quality is excellent and you can easily dress it up or down depending upon which top you wear with it.
I bought this for a themed party but actually love it so much I can wear it all the time. It is super stretchy so nice and warm. The bat detail is great and the chain detail makes it stand out.
This is supposed to be roomy… and it is! I thought just the collar was distressed but the body is a bit too, really love that. I see me wearing this one often!
Fit on this is perfect, true to size. The metallic finish looks like a deep blue, really gorgeous against black clothing. I’m so happy with this piece and am so excited to wear it!
Such a cute pair of bloomers. There are ruffles and applique details and the sizing is very comfortable. Delivery was wonderful as usual. Kates clothing is the best place to buy anything.
I love anything made of mesh, but this is a real standout mesh dress.. The mesh for this new Made In the UK collection is softer & a higher quality than previous Necessary Evil items, making it soft & comfortable whilst actually holding it's shape better than ever. The collar is a beautiful double layer as are the sleeves, which are the perfect length. It's so easy to style & can be worn in so many different ways, I swear this dress all the time. Cannot recommend it enough. I am 5ft3 160cm, size 8-10 & an XS-S fits perfectly.
