Museum of Tees

Panthawit Lawaruengchok, owner of trailblazing design firm Apostrophy, is an avid collector of t-shirts and concert merchandise, particularly of rock bands. Museum of Tees showcases Panthawit’s extensive t-shirt collection, which includes rare items and limited-edition pieces. Each shirt comes with a label indicating the production year, the significance of the band, as well as its origin. Notable items include Run DMC x Adidas items as worn by Beyonce and Kanye West (one of them is worth more than B400,000), a vintage tee from Queen’s 1978 tour, and a Flaming Lips shirt with a Thai phrase that reads “which is parasitic and the carrier of disease.” Currently on display is a rock and metal theme, which is about 30 percent of Panthawit’s collection. Panthawit also collects designer shoes, and a showcase of his rare and vintage footwear is in the pipeline.
