Original artwork by Jarlath TourishWest End Art Collective · Galway

Begin with a personal story, a child’s drawing, a pet, a place, a memory, an inside joke—or an idea that exists only in your head. We develop it into original artwork made specifically to be worn.

The artwork commission, garment and printing are priced clearly before work begins. Exclusivity and future use are agreed as part of the commission.

Galway—without
the souvenir shop.

A deliberately small first range built around familiar Galway places and a sharper local identity. These are working concepts—not products on sale yet.

Custom merch example

One team.
Individual identities.

A shared West End Art Collective front mark, paired with each resident artist’s own identity on the back.

This is the territory Galway Patches is built for: merchandise that gives the group consistency without flattening the people inside it.

How it works

From rough idea
to finished merch.

You do not need a finished logo or production-ready file to start.

We establish what the merchandise is for, shape the design where needed, agree the garment and production method, then send a proof before anything is made.
