Graphic tees are all the rage now because whats more appropriate than wearing your emotions on your sleeves?(Quite literally!) While Souled Store and Bewakoof seem to have taken over a large portion of the market, we Bongs cant just do with the same old design and stereotypical quotes. While we may see 3 out of 4 people on the road donning their Souled Store t-shirt, we would definitely like to stand out, and have something custom-made to suit our Bangaliyana. If you are one such person, don’t worry. Here is a list of 5 graphic tee destinations of Kolkata that you will love.

1) Machh Bhat

Kolkata label Machh Bhat, started by Sayantan Guha caters to all Bengali customers with even the most slightest sense of Bong humour. They have humorous typographics at unbelievable prices. Though they don’t offer quite a lot of variety at this point, you will surely find something to amuse you from Hirok Raja to Khola Hawa.

2) YoungU

This quaint little store in Hindustan Park is a hidden gem for all youngsters and college-goers. The t-shirts start at an affordable price range of ₹350. If you have immense love for your city, flaunt it with these Kolkata themed t-shirts. Special attraction? If you have grown up reading Prodosh Mittir and the adventures of the favourite Bengali detective Feluda, you will surely have something here that excites you.They also have lovely batik patchwork clothes .

3) Vibrations

Fandom freaks would probably already know this store. But those that do not, this store in Free School Street is every nerd’s paradise.Rock and metal lovers will get tees of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden to Pink Floyd. Comic heads would not only find tees, but also figurines and themed boxers. They also have few Bengali t-shirts with one-liners and a few from Feluda and Byomkesh as well.

4) Teegully

An online store, a home-grown brand, Teegully has made Bongs proud. It started when Hindi and English tees were ruling the market and we have loved it ever since. Its tshirts feature the famous Bengali icons like Feluda, Jatayu, Apu-Durga from Pather Pachali. They also have colloquial humorous Bengali sayings printed on their t-shirts like ‘Hathe Hurricane’ or ‘Taar Kata’. These t-shirts are super affordable and look amazing as well.

Another online store, their tagline reads “Wear your swag the Bangla way” and we love it! They have tees with the best Bengali quotes printed on them and they have quality stuff. Quirky, modern and very very relatable, Bong Swag’s t-shirts should be a part of every Bangali’s wardrobe.
