Rough Trade the label is a different thing entirely from the shop, worth keeping separate in your head. It's where the newest artists actually get found, not just the label that put out The Smiths decades ago. Check out Rough Trade Records for the newest artists, not just The Smiths.

Use for Rough Trade the label specifically, distinct from Rough Trade the shop (see separate entry, The corner newsagent). Don't conflate the two. Safe personal anecdote with a real embedded link.
