The Idea of Culture

Places, people and references that stay with us.

We love exploring and having an idea speaks to us!

Original graphic T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies inspired by city life, architecture, history and the places we make our own. Smells Like Bushwick brings Brooklyn neighborhood humor to everyday clothing, wykyk. Kennedy remembers Toronto’s Scarborough RT, while NYC Word Search turns the city into a wearable puzzle. Roman Ruins explores classical architecture, with a vaporwave version imagining the past through a retro-futuristic lens.

Find a Brooklyn graphic tee, a gift for a transit enthusiast or an architecture shirt for someone who notices the details. From summer in the city to 1776 Still Loading, these designs invite recognition, conversation and a little humor.
