About The Artwork
Designed by artist Scott King and screenprinted in Cornwall, this 100% organic cotton t-shirt has a unisex fit and comes in two colourways, candy pink or sky blue. The word nostalgia is learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of nostos, meaning 'homecoming', a Homeric word and algos, meaning 'pain' or 'ache' and was coined by a 17th century medical student to describe the anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away.
