The latest and greatest

The Meowdie
$60.00

Inspired by a painting found in the Tomb of Nakht, this hoodie pays tribute to the history of domesticated cats. A practice that started in the Fertile Crescent around 12,000 years ago.

There is no formal decision on a mascot for Paracosm yet, but cat is definitely up there.

Chemistry Crewneck
$50.00
*Available for purchase ONLY at Substrate CLT*

At Paracosm, we enjoy the finer things in life. Clearly. One of those finer things being vino. Recentemente, vino naturale. Much of this—thanks to our friends over at Substrate CLT, a no-bullshit natural wine bar with a no-bullshit attitude towards the pretentious cunts who dominate an industry of old shriveled grapes. Our words, not theirs.

The creative chemistry happening in Charlotte, North Carolina right now is a treat to watch as well as be a part of. And so we made a sweater about it.
