The official Purple Pingers collection, printed by us in Sydney. Jordan van den Lamb, better known as Purple Pingers, went from reviewing Australia's worst rentals online (the mould, the "sunroom" bedrooms, the landlords from hell) to becoming one of the loudest voices in the country on housing justice. He's been condemned by a sitting Prime Minister for his trouble, which around here counts as a glowing reference.
This is exactly the kind of collaboration we love doing. Someone using humour to say the true thing, loudly, about something that actually matters: that everyone deserves a decent place to live, and that empty houses and unliveable rentals are a choice someone powerful keeps making. The designs carry that spirit: cheeky, pointed, and very much on the side of renters and regular people. Wearing one is a small act of solidarity that also happens to look good at the inspection for a rental you won't get.
Because it's an official collaboration, every order provides real support. That's the standing rule for every collab at Lonely Kids Club: real partnerships, real art, and the printing done properly by us. Each piece is made to order in our Sydney studio on ethically sourced blanks, in sizes XS to 5XL on most garments with gender neutral fits.
Orders usually dispatch within seven working days, Australian shipping is free over $85, and most products carry our 100-day returns policy. The stickers, it must be said, are excellent laptop and water bottle material, and they start conversations in exactly the way you'd hope.
If this is your corner of the internet, you'll find kindred spirits in The Chaser collection (satire royalty, also official) and the Michael West collection (independent journalism, also official). Australia's better angels, available in cotton.
Is this an official collaboration?
Yes. Real partnership, real support with every order, printed by us in Sydney.
