Lazy Oaf has joined forces with London's renowned coffee brand, Grind, to unveil a limited-edition collection for fans of both labels.
The collection features Lazy Oaf's signature 'Happy Sad' graphic, prominently displayed on several pieces. The graphic appears as a repeating motif on a special-edition coffee tin and a custom mug. Among the standout items is a long-sleeve t-shirt adorned with a graphic illustration of a cheerful character donning a Grind t-shirt while seated at a coffee table.
The Lazy Oaf and Grind names are featured above the illustration, with the phrase “STRONG STUFF” prominently displayed below. Additionally, one t-shirt sleeve showcases a mug graphic with a sad face. The collaboration also includes socks decorated with mug graphics.
The exclusive Lazy Oaf x Grind collection is available from £10 to £44 GBP and can be purchased exclusively at Grind.
