All Kiss My Kunst designs are completely original and exclusive to this label with screen-prints produced by hand and to order making each item bespoke and unique in its own way! They formulate all art prints & designs through collaboration of their own artwork, photography & image processing techniques allowing for the creation of unique prints and screens which are then individually hand pulled. Many of their photographic subjects are discovered from their own surrounds or inspired by the macabre e.g. family curios, antiques, taxidermy & medical history. Their superior quality t-shirts are carefully selected bamboo mix or 100% organic cotton, Earth Positive garments supported by the Fair Wear Foundation and Soil Association – as such, they present ethical, environmentally conscious apparel manufactured solely using sustainable energy – which appeals to consumers who love to make confident style statements while still making responsible choices .
