A former EastEnders star is hoping to bring some variety to Chingford with a new pop-up shop selling 'ethical' clothing . 

Liam Bergin, 29, turned his hand to mastering screen printing and launched his own clothing brand with his brother Elliott, 26, after taking a break from acting in 2014. 

The 29-year-old, who has recently moved to Chingford from Buckhurst Hill, is launching his six-week Boom Done Shop in Old Church Road on Saturday from 4pm to 6pm. 

He is best known for playing Danny Mitchell - the brother of Ronnie and Roxanne and son of villain Archie Mitchell.

The former Davenant Foundation School pupil is developing his online brand, which is stocked by ASOS, by testing the market in Chingford. 

He is the creative force behind the brand, which sells made-to-order t-shirts and jumpers, endorsed and modelled online by actress Kae Alexander from Jack Whitehall's BBC Three comedy Bad Education. 

In a bid to bring back traditional garment making to Chingford Mount, the public will be able to watch Mr Bergin screen print at the shop.  

He said: "Screen printing involves more artistry.

"There is a chance of human error but also the chance to create something quite beautiful.

"Every item is unique.

"Setting up a clothing brand is kind of connected to acting.

"I always loved putting on a costume and this is the same thing really, it’s just someone else in my costume.

"I chose this area as I think it needs it given the number of empty shops and I enjoyed selling to the people of Chingford at the north Chingford village market.  

"Nowadays, the world wants to see everything on a phone but I’m trying to fight back by bringing traditional shops back to the high street."

An important aspect of the brand its limited carbon footprint. 

Liam added: "I know exactly where the paint is from and all of the t-shirts and jumpers are made on a wind farm in Turkey and India and not in a sweat shop in Bangladesh." 

The shop will be giving away free screen-printed tote bags to the first 50 people through the doors on Saturday and there will be ten per cent off all items.
