Dorothy Stamp Albums

We love graphic design here at Coolector HQ and we’re also pretty big fans of 80s and 90s music as well so it will probably come as no surprise at all that we’ve fallen pretty hard for these Dorothy Stamp Albums, which combine the two wonderfully well. Dorothy are a Liverpool based design studio, who we regularly walked past on route to craft beer at the Baltic Market not so long ago, and we’ve long had a penchant for their awesome array of stylised designs and these Stamp Albums are the latest to have caught our eye.

The Dorothy Stamp Albums come in two different volumes with each boasting its own line up of seminal bands and graphic design style. These prints will really bring any workspace to life and will add a touch of vibrancy to the wall. Available for the mighty reasonable price tag of just £35, chances are you’ll want to add both Volume 1 and Volume 2 to your workspace to complete the aesthetic and that’s definitely what we’re planning to do here at The Coolector.
