Nearly all the merchandise is made using the group's infamous flag colours. Wives of these militants in Syria and Iraq have been showing off their young children who are dressed head to toe in the merchandise. Babies have been pictured, wrapped in IS rugs and wearing hats with the IS logo inscribed in Arabic, which highlights the group's desire to indoctrinate their children from a young age.

One of the most essential fashion items for the fighters are the Casio digital wrist watches, a cheap brand which can be easily found in Syria and Iraq.
Senior IS members however have a preference for more expensive watches, with IS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi having been spotted wearing an expensive Omega watch when he declared the creation of the caliphate in 2014.

Rings are also a popular choice with many IS militants seen sporting the accessory. The plastic rings are also making an appearance at IS weddings.

One member of the group was criticised by another on social media for wearing the western brand and called him a 'disbeliever' for wearing the trainers.
"Wearing Nike is the same thing as wearing clothes with crosses", commented the disgruntled user.
Another supported added to the debate and insisted that Nike trainers were fine to wear because of their comfort and good quality.
Many have shared their views and images of the merchandise on Twitter:
