Fast forward to 2024, we’d both had enough.
Finding 5-7 new and unique items every 90 days for 5 years straight takes its toll.
In December 2024 we cancelled all our box subscriptions and began to liquidate the remaining inventory, intending to close up shop for good.
But then, something unexpected happened.
We said, “what if instead of featuring other people’s stuff, we made our own stuff?”
What if we made Catholic merch that actually... “slapped,” as the kids say?
Eye-catching, slightly unhinged, but still reverent?
What if we made stuff that:
- You'd actually WANT to stick on your Stanley cup
- Would make your non-Catholic friends ask "what is that?" with this face 🤔 instead of this one 😬
- Could start conversations that led to conversions
And what if instead of hiding from or complaining about modern culture, we subverted it?
Hundreds of years ago, Catholics were the taste-makers, commissioning the best art from the best artists alive.
But now, just go search Amazon for “Catholic gifts” to see how far we have fallen.
What if we stopped waiting for someone else to make cool, original Catholic stuff and just... did it ourselves?
