From 'the lou' to you!
I’m Rick Hart (yes, that Hart behind the name) proudly living in South City with my partner and our two cats. Though I officially planted roots here in 2021, St. Louis has always been part of my story. Growing up just a couple hours away in rural Southern Illinois, I’d sneak into the city whenever I could for its energy, quirks, and all-around weirdness.
This shop is my outlet to share humor, creativity, and a whole lot of local love. Every product is designed to celebrate what makes the Lou cool, fun, and delightfully wacky.
I’m just getting started, but my goal is simple: to keep St. Louis weird (and wonderful) while giving you something that sparks joy, makes you laugh, or starts a conversation. So browse around, snag something quirky, and help me spread the word that this city is one-of-a-kind.
