Pan Tu Nie Stał [CLOSED]

This Łódź-based family-owned business blossomed out of a blog obsessed with Polish communist-era design, typography and cultural artefacts, which soon developed into a design firm manufacturing contemporary hipster apparel inspired by PRL graphics and culture. Clever, trendy and tongue-firmly-in-cheek, choose from t-shirts with retro PRL iconography, fanny packs that say 'Cześć' (Hi), socks that say 'Disco Polo', classic Soviet-era handleless mugs, communist nostalgia photo albums, shoulder bags, posters, postcards and more. In terms of local design that is useful, affordable and overtly Polish, it doesn't get any better than this. If you're wondering, the name - 'Pan tu nie stał' (You weren’t standing here, sir) - is a comic reference to a regularly-used phrase for queue barging during the martial law period of the early 80's.
