MEET HANDMADE

‘When Waldemar Brzozowski received an email from Pearl Jam in 2014, he initially thought it was a joke. But he read the message to the end. Karen Loria, the manager of the grunge legend from Seattle, wrote to his Siedlce company, which had been operating for just under two years, because, like other customers, she wanted to order enameled mugs with original designs. In a small series of 1,500 pieces, with original graphics approved by all the band members. Today, individual specimens can be purchased by the most devoted fans on eBay for about $600, if they’re lucky. They have collector’s status.’
