about

Chiroptera is the Latin word for bat — a creature that symbolizes adaptability, individuality, and thriving in the dark. Chiroptera, House of Bats was created as a space where alternative culture can exist without rules or labels, shaped by the music and subcultures that define goth, punk, metal, witchy, and in between styles.

The shop carries a curated mix of alternative clothing, footwear, and accessories, from statement pieces and everyday wear to boots, jewelry, and unique finds. Alongside new items from alternative brands, you’ll also find thoughtfully selected resale pieces, bringing sustainability into SELF-EXPRESSION.

Bats are deeply tied to Chiroptera not only as symbols of the night, but as reflections of MUSIC-DRIVEN alternative culture. Just as bats navigate the world through sound, alternative genres are shaped first by music: the rhythms, distortion, atmosphere, and emotion that give rise to goth, punk, metal, witchy, and industrial styles. The shop will also support local and independent artists through rotating displays, handmade goods, and future collaborations, creating a space rooted in creativity, community, and the underground.

This is only the beginning. Chiroptera is a growing, evolving project with many ideas still taking shape. From expanded collaborations and creative spaces to new ways of supporting alternative culture and the artists who keep it alive. As the shop grows, so will the vision behind it.
