🎩 Last delivery from !

Sam brought us one bucket hat, caps and these gorgeous denim cushions!
If you know her branding and ethos, nothing is left behind or made without extra thoughts. Each letters take a while to be collected from other garments and put back as a fun / strong value message onto another high quality but still second hand TShirt. By doing it on hats as well, Sam is confirming her signature and her skills too! We are hoping you will love all her pieces as much as we do! Thank you Sam 🎩
