yup, i’m slow, but we all knew that. pete versus toby, a collective effort who operate out of palestine their boutique/studio/gallery in bondi, put out some new designs before crimbo; PVT NU AQUA, HELLSONG, GRILLSON, GREG EYE & FREE* MADONNA, all available as T’s or singlets.
someone, “a concerned local”, recently offered to put a brick through the window of The Con Artist in Thirroul because they placed the FREE* Madonna singlet in their shop window (news clip from msn below…). a note was popped under the door which read “If the singlet is not removed… you may find some concerned local might put a brick through your window.” looks like pvt win that round in their continual effort to shockingly awaken.
all prints are lovingly screened onto 100% certified organic cotton sourced from Australia, India & Turkey and made in Australia. it’s this kind of commitment to the future health of our planet the needs to be supported and promoted. in their words they are the Nu Australia, mixed children of the future who just don’t care, support what they do…you might just like it.
WearToGetIt recently published an interview with marco zirov, one of the 3 founders, that gives you some background on the label and their thoughts.
Pete Vs Toby is the collaboration of three 20 something artists living the Australian dream. Living and working out of Bondi, these best friends spend their days turning their art into cash by making Certified Organic hand-made clothes. In the early days they would drive down from Byron every Sunday to flog their goods at Bondi markets. After having great success they moved to Sydney permanently and thus Palestine was born.
