Banksy’s Gross Domestic Product™, a temporary homewares store in Croydon, London, offered a fascinating range of products designed by the elusive artist himself. Each item featured Banksy’s signature style, from Banksy mugs to welcoming doormats and tiger rugs. Interestingly, the store’s creation was sparked by a legal battle against Banksy initiated by a greeting card company trying to claim legal custody of the artist’s name.

Throughout the store, Banksy addressed critical social issues that plague our world today, including forced human migration, animal welfare, fast fashion’s impact on the environment, climate change, the rat race we live under, and constant surveillance. The store was open for a limited time as a window shopping experience, providing a glimpse into Banksy’s unique perspective on the world.
The innovative artist has diversified his business and now offers the convenience of online shopping and an array of products ranging from art pieces to homewares and even items that evoke a sense of disappointment – as he proudly proclaims. Grab your baskets, and let’s go shopping; it’s Banksy time …

Banksy™ Met ball
The Banksy™ Met ball is a unique and fascinating home entertainment lighting system that caught our attention. What makes it interesting is that it’s made from an old Police riot helmet and is adorned with around 650 small mirrors. The helmet even has a signature on the inside, which adds to its authenticity and uniqueness.

Banksy™ Duck & Cover
This particular set of three relief wall decorations is a modernized rendition of the timeless design from the 1970s that features three flying ducks in a row.

Banksy™ Shredded Tee
Banksy has skillfully transformed a cliché image into a work of art by incorporating a knife into it! For those who follow Vogue’s latest fashion trends, it’s no secret that “fringing” is currently hot. Regrettably, we won’t be able to ship the order until Christmas! This ethical tee has been made using fair trade practices and features a beautifully crafted screenprint design of the classic ‘Girl with Balloon”. However, it’s worth noting that this tee is unsuitable for machine washing and requires special care. Please keep in mind that XS size was available.

Banksy™ Tagged Tee
Looking for a creative and unique way to fulfil his trademark requirement to sell clothing with Banksy’s name on them, Banksy offered a collection of tagged tees that were truly one-of-a-kind. Each shirt is created by hand, using a process that involves vandalising charity shop t-shirts with stainer ink, spray paint, or oil sticks. This results in a unique and eye-catching design that will make a statement. It’s important to note that each shirt is unique, so sizes may vary. Additionally, it’s important to take care when washing these shirts. Due to the nature of the materials used, there is a risk of staining other clothes if the shirt is washed with them.

Banksy™ Black
This product is genuinely intriguing. At first glance, it may seem like someone has just removed the label from an old spray paint can and written their name on it! However, apparently that’s far from the truth. This unique and trademarked Banksy paint has been introduced as an exciting new addition to the world of branded wall coverings! The paint has been created with utmost care and attention to detail, reflecting the artist’s signature style. It boasts a unique colour palette that will add a touch of sophistication to any wall it’s applied on. While it’s true that some of the contents may be missing due to the nature of the product, it’s still a must-have for any Banksy collector or art enthusiast.

Banksy™ Early Learning Counting Set
The early learning counting set engages your child’s cognitive skills with a fun counting game to stimulate their learning abilities. The signed counting set aims to squash as many refugee figurines as possible into the back of the truck. It is important to note that this game includes small parts that may pose a choking hazard to children under 12. Additionally, this game features a wipe-clean finish for easy cleaning and maintenance. It is also worth mentioning that the proceeds from the sale of this item go towards supporting migrant rescue missions in the Mediterranean. However, Banksy claims it’s important to be aware that Italian courts have ruled this illegal. As a result, customers should exercise caution and understand that purchasing this item could potentially constitute a criminal offence.

Banksy™ Banksquiat
Banksquiat pays homage to the late Jean-Michel Basquiat, a pioneer in the realm of post-graffiti art. The print, created by Banksy, is a thought-provoking commentary on the constant commercialisation of Basquiat’s legacy in modern times. Banksy accomplishes this by adding to the very thing he is questioning … by crassly adding to the relentless commodification of Basquiat in recent times! The signed print is crafted on two distinct types of paper, black and grey board, which adds to its allure and visual appeal.

Banksy™ Mug
Banksy released a collection of branded mugs that were actually created by children. This unique project aimed to test if children could create artwork similar to Banksy’s and showcase their creativity and Banksy’s lack of it! Each mug in the collection is fully glazed and features a unique design, with some even containing charming spelling mistakes. Interestingly, despite being created by children, these mugs are unmistakably Banksy, with his signature style and themes prominently featured. Each mug is randomly selected, making it a surprise as to which design you will receive.

Banksy™ Ultra HD TV
If you’re looking for a unique TV that doubles as a piece of art, you might want to consider a 55-inch colour TV with a Banksy design, which Banksy claims is perfect for the snowflake generation. These TVs are customised to order and feature the artist’s signature. However, it’s essential to note that these TVs are made using pre-owned models, which might not offer the best viewing quality compared to brand-new models. Therefore, if you prioritise viewing quality over art, it might not be your best choice!

Banksy™ Thrower
Banksy’s latest attempt at printmaking involves using spray paint on processing film and transferring the stencil directly onto a silk screen. This technique eliminates the need for digital manipulation, resulting in a strikingly authentic representation of hand-made marks. It looks pretty impressive; what’s more, the prints come in a set of three framed, each one personally signed and numbered.

If you’re looking for a unique and fun way to express your feelings, these stencilled cushions might be just what you need!

One great thing about these cushions is that you won’t have to rely on them for advice – you can use them to make a statement or express yourself. The set comes with two cushions, but please keep in mind that they are made from materials found in charity shops, so they may not match perfectly.

Banksy™ Rug
The ‘diabetes-riddled corpse of Tony the Tiger’ rug, which features the advertising cartoon mascot for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes breakfast cereal, appears on its packaging and advertising. Banksy believes this rug will make a strong statement about the unhealthy nature of sugary cereals and their impact on children’s health. He points out that £7.8 million annually is spent on under 5’s teeth extractions in the UK.

Banksy™ Welcome Mat
The intricately crafted Banksy GDP ‘Welcome Mat’ is crafted by hand using the material from life vests abandoned on the shores of the Mediterranean. It’s important to note that these vests were never reliable buoyancy aids in the first place, as they were often cheap imitations sold by smugglers who did not actually float. Banksy collaborated with ‘Love Welcomes‘, an organisation dedicated to helping women in detainment camps in Greece, to produce these mats. The proceeds from the sales were used to support refugees in accessing essential services in the local community.

Banksy™ Tombstone
What do you get for someone who seems to have everything? It’s a 230kg reminder that material possessions don’t last forever. It’s a hand-carved piece by Banksy himself, made from a slab of Portland stone. The only catch is that it’s only available for collection from the quarry.
