Goalartzo clothing packs a punch; featuring clean, minimalistic graphics which are carefully designed inch-by-inch by an Arsenal fan.
More Info
The Team
Goalartzo is a one-man-band, run by artist, designer and founder Francesca Sene. We work with TwoFifteen, a UK company which prints our designs onto clothing for us.
Community Aims
Our aim is to build Goalartzo into a household name for football fans. This would mean we could grow large enough to be able to send significant proceeds to charities close to our hearts, such as Gooners vs Cancer, the Arsenal Foundation and mental health charities such as MIND.
We also hope to spread a passion for fine art amongst younger football fans, and make art 'cool'!
How it's Made
Francesca draws the players by hand, scans her artwork to turn them into HD digital files, and edits the art into designs using PhotoScape editing software. The art and design process for each player graphic takes between 20-40 hours.
Sustainability
We are really passionate about making sure our clothing is as environmentally-friendly as possible. We use FairShare AWDIS hoodies, 100% Salvage recycled T-Shirts by Continental Clothing, and Organic Vegan sweatshirts from Stanley/Stella as the base. It has been a long journey researching the best, most ethical way to start a clothing business, but we are so proud with our selection so far.
