Mozart – tote bag
To make some noise about our 10th anniversary, we have released a collection of limited edition t-shirts and tote bags that draw their inspiration from 1980s and 1990s band t-shirts. Our designs celebrate the mega stars of classical music.
Jirka Väätäinen, best known for his re-imaginings of iconic Disney characters, enjoyed the process of crossing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with a 1980s pop aesthetic. Väätäinen says he was keen to base his design on what is perhaps the most recognisable of Mozart portrait of all time to maximise its impact in the new context.
“Propelled by an instant flash of inspiration, I turned my attention to the 1980s, poring over old album covers and fan posters. I wanted to achieve a look that was both authentic but also a bit tongue in cheek.
These stylish cloth tote bags are sustainably produced by Pure Waste using 100% recycled materials. With Musiikkitalo logo on reverse.
