Our mission was to find and support under-the-radar talented artists from all backgrounds and walks-of-life to partner with.
We do this in order show off good art and to be more then just personalising a t-shirt.
Besides showing the art in conjunction with the manual screenprinting, it was going back to basic and doing as much as we could by hand, which we love.

August 2019
Fueled by the Spanish sun and the Catalonian punky attitude, this Belgian duo based in Barcelona has decided one year ago to upcycle wearables and tune them to their needs. From Jackets and other clothing to high energetically and well-resourced crystal jewelry.
They would customize anything you put in their hands, obviously only if it fits their Pirate/Nomadic style.
