Our Story

We are Bengaluru folks, through and through. We grew up here, on filter coffee and slow Cubbon Park afternoons, on the 080 you dialed to call home and the slang you slip back into the minute you are in town. The city got into us early and never really left.

080tees started as a love letter. We kept reaching for a tee that felt like namma ooru, not a tourist postcard, and could never find it, so we made our own. Every design is a small ode to the city we miss when we are away and grin about the second we are back: the food, the words, the streets, the in-jokes only a Bengalurean would catch.

We figured we were not the only ones. There is a whole tribe of us, in the city and scattered across the world, who light up at a half-remembered Kannada phrase or a darshini reference. This is a small, niche label built for exactly those people. For you, probably, if you have read this far.

We are just getting started, and we would genuinely love your help shaping what comes next. Which phrase, which memory, which corner of Bengaluru do you want to wear? Write to us at hello@080tees.com. We read every note.
