Artifact Collection by Mudguard – Buy Art, Not Trends
Limited edition shirts with a story — Buy Art, Not Trends
A drop that made noise: the story behind the Artifact collection
On december 13, 2024, we launched our second official drop: the Artifact collection. After the success of our debut drop Lovesick, we came back louder, bolder, and sharper. Artifact wasn’t just a follow-up — it was a statement.
This collection featured 14 completely unique shirts. And just like with every Mudguard release, once they were gone, they were gone for good. No restocks. No re-releases. No second chances.
Buy Art, Not Trends — the vision behind Artifact
The Artifact collection embodies everything we stand for at Mudguard. The designs weren’t built to chase trends — they were built to tell stories. Each tee was made to be a lasting piece of visual storytelling. We don’t believe in seasons, we believe in meaning. That’s why every shirt is a one-time print. You don’t just wear it. You own it.
The bestsellers: Buy Art, Not Trends Star Tees
Two standout pieces flew out quicker than the rest: the Buy Art, Not Trends Star Tees. Available in two variants, they were bold, loud, and impossible to ignore. Within days, they were completely sold out. And they’ll never return. That’s what makes them priceless.
Wearing one today means you were there early — part of the moment, part of the movement.
The story continues: Pissing Kid Tee
Another key piece from Artifact was the infamous Pissing Kid Tee. Inspired by a candid photo from 2007 London, this shirt carried attitude, nostalgia, and raw personality. We gave it the full Mudguard twist and dropped it in off white and black.
Why did it work? Because it came from something real. And that’s what we do — we take real stories and turn them into wearable art.
Buy Art, Not Trends — our way of doing things
We don’t follow the playbook. We rip it up and start our own. Mudguard exists to shift the culture. With Artifact, we stayed true to our mission: meaningful design, slow fashion, ethical production, and collections that hit harder because they don’t stick around.
We create for the ones who want to wear the story, not just follow the hype.
Why Artifact matters in a world of fast fashion
Artifact was a response to everything wrong with the fashion industry — overproduction, mindless trends, and copy-paste drops. We did the opposite. Just 14 shirts. All thoughtfully designed. All responsibly produced. And all gone forever.
If you own one, you don’t just have a tee — you have a memory. You have a message.
Be early next time — or miss out again
The Artifact collection sold out quicker than we expected. And we’re not surprised. People are done with boring fashion. They want pieces that say something. Pieces that feel like art.
So here’s your warning:
Sign up for our newsletter to get early access on the next drop or cry later when you miss it again.
Because at Mudguard, we’ll always keep moving. And once the next one hits, you’ll want to be ready.
