Vintage 1999 Mambo "Prawn Stars" Tee
US$109.38 - sold
Throwing it back to 1999 with some classic Australian "larrikin" humor. 🇦🇺🦐
This is the legendary "Prawn Stars" tee from Mambo Graphics, featuring the playful, hand-drawn art of Matthew Martin (look for his signature "m.m" right under the tail of the top prawn).
A master of cheeky puns and double entendres, Matthew Martin designed around 150 tees for Mambo between 1987 and 2004. "Prawn Stars" is one of his absolute standouts—depicting two prawns in a suggestive embrace as a playful pun on "Porn Stars."
With the classic Coke-style cursive script logo on the front and the vibrant green colorway, this Y2K-era piece is a prime example of why 90s Mambo holds such a legendary spot in vintage streetwear history. 🌴
