A note for those of you in the EU. From 1st July, new customs charges on parcels valued under €150 will increase shipping costs for many orders. As the charges are applied per product type rather than per parcel, orders containing multiple different items may incur multiple fees. Unfortunately, this is not a cost that small independent businesses can absorb. If you’ve been considering a purchase from the official store, you may wish to do so before 1st July while we work on a solution. thethe.com/shop/ Artwork by Andrew Johnson (Andy Dog). #thethe #mattjohnson #mattjohnsonthethe
