Transcript

Designing cool shit for duct tape. I do a whole new merch collection because having no merch ain't it. Starting off strong with this t tier, where the duck is taped to the back and it says hang in tier. I had to do a leather duct tape wallet, best the leather is printed with the texture of duct tape. This tier shirt, where I completely covered the logo in duct tape, and the matching hoodie, where the letters are taped to the front. A scarf that's printed to look like a long strip of duct tape. A soccer jersey where all the stripes are made out of tape, and the matching dock strap. I would do a Bad Aid collab where the bandages are little strips of tape, this sweater, and finally, a leather bag where the handle's made out of tape. The full Duct Tape collection. Duct Tape. You need merch.
