"Poisonettes" Top

The first release in our newest collection, STAY GOLD: a series of designs inspired by The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, 1967...

The "Poisonettes" Top is our first release and our dedication to our favorite greaser gang. So we created our own crew name: the Poisonettes! Are we a band? A girl gang? A bowling team? You decide, you’re all invited!
