The crazy thing – me and Italy are like oil and water. Every trip ending in a long-ass shit-list of people who made me wanna cry and shake my fist at the sky.
We believe in getting to know people and places through commerce and design. Someone else's daily diet of lo-fi goods is simple to her yet sacred to us, and vice versa. Let's marvel at each other's mundane, because that shit is dope.

Doubting yourself is good. It forces you to think through steps, think about options, it makes you evaluate shit that you should. But not believing in yourself is shit.
Vintage Emporium is a mellow spot. It’s a mix of vintage mid-century-inspired furniture with local design. Best of all? They serve breakfast all day – YES!!!
His illustrations manage to be both delicate and have heft – the lines may be fine, but the characters he illustrates be strong, little individuals brought to life.
Sometimes you score big in little ways – namely, mini Vietnamese staplers that are TRICKED OUT.
Unusual band mates, woodland creatures canoeing, an obvious case of wanderlust… like missing stills from Moonrise Kingdom. We had to know more about Laura and her process…
A mom-and-pop shop named after the daughter? That’s the kind of family affair we love.
We wouldn’t be the company we are today without the crazy talented makers we’ve met over the years. So we decided to give away $500 and a Yearly STMT Subscription to one maker, nominated by RAHstrs.
This chillaxin’ lady is designed by French illustrator Alice Wietzel, created exclusively for RAD AND HUNGRY. Alice’s pieces are filled with dreamy scenes and lovely ladies – hellz yeah we dig it!
Step by step. Lookin’ forward, never back-peddling. HCMC makes no breaks but we got the flow. Scootin’ by to score supplies, doin’ how the locals do. Embrace the pace – movin’ fast then sippin’ slow.
A head-shaking, bootyclappin’, WTF-inducing, totally random subscription full of awesomeness. It’s over the top, super silly, massively fun, and random is KING.
Việt Nam was a constant stream of gettin’ schooled how the locals do. The first time we had to cross the flooded stream of nonstop scooters to get to the other side of the road… INSANITY.
You know what’s rad? Makers connecting makers. Last year’s World Tour Artist, Sarah Alfarhan, introduced us to Alice Wietzel.
I went to Albania with no expectations, knowing next to nothing about the country and its culture. I left Albania crazy mad in love.
Journey may have written and crooned Open Arms, but I’m telling y'all that all of Albania will welcome you with open arms.
Not gonna lie – I fell in love with Albania but not with Albanian food. It just wasn’t meant to be.
Coffee and cigarettes, time slipping by. Half-built buildings here, there, everywhere. A ghost town in the past? Nah – Albania be on the up. Schemin’ for the future – one big lo-fi step at a time.
Love is hard for me to describe but I feel it all the time when discovering new places, tastes, and smells. The word love is sprinkled heavy in most of my writing. I love to love. And in Albania – I fell hard and big.
Bein’ a maker is f’in HARD. First hand – we get it. The backache, the heartbreak, the daily hustle to create and make. The struggle is REALZ.
Down under, we drove up and down the coast. Following leads, wiping off dust. Reading signs, deciphering code. We fossick – pannin’ for gold. Stationery gold.
