mystery hoods
We’re making hoods for the Mystery Jets this week. Blaine and Kapil have their own ideas that we’ll keep a mystery for now… but we’re to send 3 of our choice. Any suggestions? :)

Street Rats are £30 (+£3 p&p). Pre-order through the website here

(We got a glimpse yesterday of some of the photos that were taken at the Lomography walks in London last month. They’re brilliant. If you took any, keep them coming! hello@merrimaking.co.uk)
