Early 2000s Mecca Cola “Peace Not War” statement text graphic tee. Very important piece of political merchandise with some good history. Tees were produced my Mecca Cola in response to the US invasion of Iraq after the events of 9/11. Mecca Cola is a soft drinks company launched in France by a Tunisian businessman, Tawfik Mathlouthi, as an ethical alternative to brands such as Coca Cola. Additionally, during an anti war protest held in Hyde Park, London Mecca Cola was given out to protesters.

All round a super cool tee and available to buy now

One of my favourite items that has recently sold

A 1970s sweatshirt for members of the Swiss Alpine Club, specifically their youth organisation. Featuring a raunchy “climbing” graphic of some little guys trying to summit a fishnet clad leg. This is in reference to an old avant garde Italian television show titled Stryx

Amazing sweatshirt that i’m sad to see go. Super thin well worn lightweight 50/50 fabric with very little cotton remaining. Raglan cut shape and plenty of fading throughout
