Sale!
Even in the heart of the urban jungle, daisies grow through concrete. Big Boss always looks for the best in people. A natural teacher who sees your strengths and nurtures them. He's always telling Designer Dave, "Make your designs as bold as your beliefs". And here's one of them, straight de la soul. One afternoon, walking through town, Dave saw a curious sight: a mural coming to life on a derelict wall. A young artist, spray can in hand, making flowers bloom. Ever a chatty one, Dave approached, “You're brave painting flowers here.” He nodded towards the freshly painted daisy. The artist flashed a grin, “It’s a beacon - reminding those who pass by that good things can grow even in desolate places." In your darkest times, when all you see is decay, remember how the small daisy finds its way to the light. -
Soft and warm beats hard and cold
It's a cold, harsh, world, often marked by division and indifference. Designer Dave doesn't like this, so he's been working on our winter collection. His vision? A warm beanie that stands as a symbol of unity in the face of society's cold indifference. Let's come together under the banner of warmth and mutual support. From concept to creation, our beanie is a symbol for those who choose kindness over division. Thawing Hearts, Uniting Minds

I don't know, man. She's a bit crazy, but it's all good! Have you ever felt squeezed into the box of social expectations? No doubt that's a resounding "Meh, yeah". No one really likes it, but it's got to be done. That doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun inside our boxes, chuck a pinch of rebellion inside those constraints. Puff Gril's in her box, but she ain't conforming. Seek approval from yourself first. -
Fish and sun - is there a better combination for easing the soul? Our resident mermaid (not literally, just a person who loves the water), on holiday in Okinawa, has gone scuba diving when suddenly, a school of pufferfish starts circling above her. "Uh oh, I'm going to be toxined to death! Where the dolphins at?". Then the sun broke through the circle of fish, making them look like a halo. It calmed her down. Then she noticed the fish hadn't even puffed up, so not in their danger state...and she was going to set the dolphins on them! Naughty. Life's a dance of light and shadow - it's about perspective. Embrace peaceful coexistence, let go of assumptions, and seek understanding first. Don't let fear cloud your view. -
Sometimes the message is simple Our designer's enjoyed a festival or twenty in his time. The spark of imagination for this shirt ignited during a multicultural festival he went to in London. There was a calligraphy booth with an old lady teaching people to write kanji symbols. He sat down at the booth and learnt how to write "併", translating to "together" (At least we hope it does! Knowing Designer Dave, it probably means "@#?!*"). Learning is a lifelong journey, and you never know how that learning will help you in the future. Thanks calligraphy-booth lady! Now we have some awesome designs inspired by you! -
Fakeness? Ain't Nobody Got Time for That In a world filled with social media-perfect influencers and curated personas, we decided to take a wild turn. We were mid-meeting, Dave started doodling flowers because, well, his attention span's as long as a goldfish’s. The result? This mishmash design. It shouts, "Look at me, I'm an artist now," but also nudges you with a "Just kidding, be yourself". Life's too short for fake vibes. 'Be Real', because nobody's got time for fakery... unless it's spontaneous doodles drawn by a daydreaming Dave. -
Be wild, be you, and let Gruff lead the way. "Ruff!" Gruff, the Graff Dog, says "hey you guys!". Designer Dave first spotted Gruff in a sticker at a surf shop back in the day and knew he had to take that energy home. Gruff's iconic of the rebellious '80s. He was there, saw it, stuck his paw print on it. Hidden in the reflections of his sunglasses, you'll see icons of the past - the time-travelling DeLorean and space-faring UFO, symbols of an era that was starting to think beyond Earth. This isn't just a look; it's a legacy. This design's a nod to those days when surf shops carried the vibe of the beach, and wild style graff lit up the streets. Man, it was cracking with energy. It's about being unabashedly, unapologetically you. -
Don't judge abookice cream by itscovercolour. It's a hot day in the moist streets of a beautiful European city. Our designer stops to buy a gelato ice cream - while in Rome and all that. He can't speak the language, but the first bite is with the eyes, right? "Yellow's a safe colour. It's the colour of bananas, lemons and pineapple. I love them all! What's the worst that can happen?" Lick lick lick MUSTARD! Well, that's why communication is so important - how else will you notice that you've just walked into a novelty gelato shop? Question your biases and make an effort to understand others. -
There's nothing wrong with bready products. Imagine a scenario where a waffle-maker goes rogue. Its mission in life is to keep people satisfied with their waffle requirements, and it very rarely goes off-script. Its heart's in the right place, but you spend more than 5-minutes with it and you're at risk of being waffled into an early grave. Less than 5-minutes, and you walk away with a delicious waffle. Persistence is a valuable trait, but you need to know when to stop. Sometimes people don't want waffles, and that's ok - there's always pancakes. -
Serving Up Scoops of Eccentricity Ever seen an ice cream van doing doughnuts? Neither have we, but we reckon this three-wheeled wonder would be the king of doughnuts. This design is a twist on a Ice Cream van we saw in London - a three wheeler, but one that actually drove forward. Look closely, this one isn't all that it seems. Embrace the weird, the whimsical, and the downright wobbly. -
Sunrise meets '80s beats Designer Dave, rocking the day job as our resident graphic designer, is an art enthusiast at heart. Picture this: Dave, knee-deep in nostalgia, digging through a dusty box of old sketchbooks. And there it was - a doodle inspired by the 80's film, "Breakin" (it was cool back then to drop the 'g'), complete with the name of the lead dancer, Turbo. If you know the film, you'll recognise the sunrise motif and graffiti style. The puffer fish? That's just Dave.Sometimes, the most vivid colours come from memories. Hold onto the golden ones. -
Embrace the unknown. All aboard the flying saucer. In Paris, urban legends aren't just whispered; they're spray-painted. Among these legends is the iconic space invader graffiti. Was it real? Did interstellar tourists visit the Eiffel Tower? Designer Dave thinks so, and according to him, they went to Colorado too. It's the 1950s, and George Adamski is wandering through the Colorado desert when he meets a man. This wasn't your typical casual encounter. It was a close encounter of the fourth kind. A very close encounter - he gave George a VIP tour of their UFO! That's right, the man was Venusian. I guess men DO come from Venus. Naturally, when George told the world about his encounter, many laughed. But, others heard hope in his stories and listened as he preached the Interplanetary Gospel. He wasn't just sharing tales but reminding us of the cosmic connection we all yearn for. Celebrate the stories that unite us, no matter how otherworldly.
We sell eye-catching t-shirts, but there’s more to us than that. Behind the scenes, our team – each in their own way – has worked with many disadvantaged people.
The most important message we learned is this: The world can only achieve true progress if we each challenge our own prejudices.
You, me, them: we need to look inwards.
