NAŠA PEŇAŽENKA 15 ROKOV VO VAŠOM VRECKU
It all started with a wallet for us! A bit of nostalgia, a bit of memories. During this time, it has undergone several changes, but the foundation has remained unchanged. The presentation of contemporary art is still ongoing and we feel it the same way as at the beginning.
We developed the new wallet during the transition to the new EURO currency in 2009 and our brand officially launched the following year in 2010. We got used to the new currency, banknotes and coins. The conversions of goods and services were new to us at the time. Our wallet was also new and many of you may have been wearing it since this groundbreaking time. Naturally, they got used to the new currency and wallet.
Subsequently, it also impressed the expert jury at the exhibition (Bratislava Designweek 2011), where it won the main prize for products and design. After this successful start, it was enough to continue. The mission was clear to bring the current art scene.
Our product portfolio has been expanding every year and we also wanted to show what we know. Over the past 15 years, we have collaborated with more than 80 artists and have produced many interesting products. The Retart wallet has still remained a symbol of our brand. That is why we are returning to it.
Currently, the global use of paper banknotes and cards is on the decline. We are fully aware of this and therefore we have expanded the CLASSIC wallet with two minimalist types, SMALL and MICRO. We do not know how it will go with the modern world of finance and payments, but we will definitely adapt our wallet to it.
We greet everyone who uses our wallet every day and recommends it to others! It would not be possible without you. Since our brand spreads organically without paid advertising. Thanks to you, we are still independent and have been connecting art and design for almost 15 years!

Hand “The Holder” artwork by Boris Sirka
Retart proudly presents the first work of art from its production! A limited edition of glazed ceramic solitaire called Hand - The Holder. In this project, renowned contemporary Slovak artist Boris Sirka has switched from painting to sculpture for a while. He has created an artistically enriched statuette, which can function as a jewellery stand. The object materializes imagery from the author’s paintings.“The Holder” a.k.a. The Hand is the third item from the painter’s series of small sculptures. The functional product is made of sustainable material – baked clay, which is harder than ceramic. It is fire glazed with subtle flecks and sand grey texture.
The series of 10 pieces is hand made, each object being an original with subtle variations. The size is 21cm x 15cm x 5cm and the weight is 400 grams. The statuettes are securely and stylishly wrapped in a printed wooden case with a serial number. Each piece bears the artist’s signature on the underside and the year in which it was created. A printed and signed certificate of originality accompanies each work. The statuettes were created and produced in Slovakia.
#2 Retart PRINT artwork by Barbora Kmecová : Expedition Three palms
Expedition Three palms is world famous expedition with a thousand-year tradition. It is loved by all generations. Whether big or short, child or pensioner…it doesn’t really matter. On board there is everybody equal. They’ll change into the adventurers of all kinds such as brave unbridled sailors or fierce pirates ready to overcome even the most obscure obstacles that water can ever bring. Sometimes they plan it for months in advance and eagerly await the most favorable conditions. As the deadline is coming, in our geographical latitude between 6th and 9th month of the year, the emotions such as enthusiasm, nervousness, sensitivity, even insomnia or fever are increasing as well. And suddenly boom. It is time. The air seems right, no clouds in the sky. Prepare your water lobsters, stretch the sails! Another summer adventure just begin!
#1 Retart PRINT artwork by Alica Kucharovič : The Col du Glandon mountain pass (1,924 m )
The Col du Glandon mountain pass was opened in 1898. In the past it was part of the Tour de France cycling race. The cycloton of the cyclists, driven by his perseverance, refers to the tenacity of man and the motivation to move his borders. Col du Glandon is a typical alpine “giant” climb. Long, tall, leading to almost 2,000 altitude. Up there, in the midst of endless grasslands, you can easily feel like at the end of the world, beyond civilization. There is no hotel or souvenir shop waiting for you. But you feel the power of nature fully, with all your senses. For an author who actively cycles and loves similar challenges, this feeling was doubled.

HAT introducing / 2015
„Under the hat.“
Retart, independent Slovak label proudly presents a new product: the Hat.
Artwork by: Daniela Olejníková
“Retart Hat was born in the wild west. It grew up in a fishing village and came of age in the rain forest. It learned about the real world in the town where it matured and discovered art. It survived in the desert and in the heavy seas, never got scared of hurricanes, never flew away. It was always where it was needed: on someone’s head.”
Retart Hat is made from fabric a blend of cotton and polyester, soft to the touch and breathable. It is sewn together from two pieces of material, which enables it to copy the shape of the head and fit well. It features an adjustable rope. The circumference of the hat is 58cm. It is 11 cm tall and it weighs 65 grams. It features an exterior flag label with the name of the author of the design. Every Retart hat is an original piece of wearable art thanks to the unique layout of the artwork.

„Máme pod klobúkom.“
Retart, nezávislý slovenský label, si Vám dovoľuje predstaviť nový produkt : Klobúk / Hat
Autorské dielo : Daniela Olejníková
“Retart Klobúk sa narodil na divokom západe. Vyrastal v rybárskej dedine a dospieval v pralese. Svoj skutočný svet spoznal až v meste kde dospel a pričuchol si k umeniu. Prežil púšť i morské vlnobitie, nezľakol sa hurikánu, neodletel. Vždy bol tam, kde bolo treba: na hlave.”
Retart Klobúk je vyrobený z látky zmesi bavlny a polyesteru, príjemnej na dotyk a vzdušnej na nosenie. Je tvorený z dvoch častí, vďaka čomu dobre dolieha na hlavu a kopíruje jej tvar. Súčasťou klobúka je nastaviteľná sťahovacia šnúrka. Obvodová veľkosť je 58cm, hĺbka je 11 centimetrov a hmotnosť 65 gramov. Klobúk má na vonkajšej strane umiestnený štítok s menom umelca, ktorého dielo prezentuje. Každý klobúk je unikátny originál pre jedinečné usporiadanie a orientáciu diela.
Retart prepája umenie s vecami každodennej potreby. Sprostredkúva vyššiu kultúru a robí ju dostupnou nielen pre galérie, ale i pre bežných ľudí. Takto napomáha jej šíreniu a chápaniu. Retart nemá tendencie vytvárať masovú produkciu, ale dbá na osobitý autorský prínos. Každý produkt má vlastný príbeh a svoju dušu.

Retart, independent Slovak label, has launched a new product: The Cap. Let us introduce you the new members of the 5-panel cap generation. The Retart Caps display original artwork of four contemporary visual artists: Juliana Chomová, Alica Gurínová, Boris Sirka and Karol Banach.
The history of the 5-panel cap can be traced to the 1960´s. In the past few years it has made a comeback thanks to the NYC bicycle couriers who have contributed to its resurrection and spreading popularity. The cap has become one of the symbols of urban folklore and a part of urban style globally.
The Retart cap is made from a blend of cotton and polyester that is soft to the touch and breathable. It is sewn together from five individual pieces of material, each catering for an individual region of the head, which makes it fit well. The cap is 11 cm tall and it weighs 75 grams.

„Umenie na hlave i v nej.“
Retart, nezávislý slovenský label, si Vám dovoľuje predstaviť nový produkt : Šiltovka / Cap

História 5 panelových šiltoviek siaha do 60tych rokov. K ich dnešnej reinkarnácii a spopularizovaniu však prispela hlavne komunita cyklokuriérov z New Yorku. Stali sa tak urban folklórom a neoddeliteľnou súčasťou mestského štýlu po celom svete.
Retart Šiltovka je vyrobená zo zmesi bavlny a polyesteru, príjemnej na dotyk a vzdušnej na nosenie. Je tvorená z piatich častí, vďaka čomu dobre dolieha na hlavu a kopíruje jej tvar. Veľkosť je nastaviteľná pásikom v zadnej časti. Hĺbka šiltovky je 11 centimetrov a váha 75 gramov. Každá šiltovka má na vonkajšej strane umiestnený štítok s menom umelca, ktorého dielo prezentuje. Každá šiltovka je unikátny originál pre jedinečné usporiadanie a orientáciu diela.

Šnúrka / Opasok
Retart, nezávislý slovenský label, si Vám dovoľuje predstaviť nový produkt: Šnúrka / Lace
Prináša vlastnú verziu opasku, inšpirovanú skateboard kultúrou.
Prvý krát začali šnúrku nosiť skateboardisti, ktorí ich vymenili za klasický opasok z viacerých dôvodov.
Šnúrka je mäkká, pohodlná, neprekáža pri pohybe a je jednoducho odlišná. Predstavuje aktuálnu tvorbu šiestich súčasných umelcov zo Slovenska a Čiech. Je elegantným a štýlovým doplnkom na rôzne typy oblečenia a vyzdvihuje zmysel pre detail.
Šnúrka je vyhotovená z príjemného saténového materiálu v rozmeroch 150 cm x 1.5 cm obojstranne potlačená. Na začiatku je logo Retart a na konci klasické šnúrkové ukončenie v ktorom nájdete meno umelca, ktorý šnúrku navrhol. Stačí zaviazať a nosiť.
Retart prepája umenie s vecami každodennej potreby. Sprostredkúva takto vyššiu kultúru a robí ju dostupnou nie len pre galérie, ale i pre bežných ľudí. Takto napomáha jej šíreniu a chápaniu. Retart nemá tendencie vytvárať masovú produkciu, ale dbá na osobitý autorský prínos. Každý produkt má vlastný príbeh a svoju dušu.

Tabook
Tabor, Czech Republic
We spent amazing weekend in Tabor at book festival full of inspiration created by contemporary illustrators and independent book publishers working together.
Tabook is a literary festival that focuses on works of small publishers. This year the festival was held for a second time in old town called Tabor. Many publishers who prefer quality over quantity and commercial success present their works here. All of them cooperate with spiritually and intellectually inspired authors. Despite the fact they hardly make money for the living, they work with huge enthusiasm. Unfortunately people still hold a stereotype that art cannot be a real job but it is only a hobby and amusement for these creators. All these publishers spend huge amount of time looking for best authors, prose writers and graphic artists which make them real, original and creative publisher geniuses.
Thank you Tabook 2013 !

Grape Festival 2013
Thanks to everybody who came visit Retart on Grape !
Malta Artisan Fair
This year, for the first time we have visited the island of Malta and spent there two amazing weeks. As the only foreign label, Retart received special invitation to attend the local design market “Artistan” - Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th July 2013.
The Artisan Fair in Malta, often described as Malat’s authentic local market, gives to the visitors an unique opportunity to buy local high quality and affordable products from the artists, craft makers and food producers who are carefully selected. Everything is completed by a beautiful location with interesting architecture and history.
During the stay we traveled around the islands of Malta and Gozo where we were discovering their pure nature with its hidden beauties. We got a change to meet local people who presented us the place from totally different point of view.
People from Malta are very kind and friendly with unique Modern-Latino lifestyle. They have little bit distorted sense of distance than we do because the island is so small. Nobody uses bicycles there but everyone likes BBQ on the beach. They are huge patriots with very interesting history.
The Bright tradeshow Berlin
Retart has participated as an exhibitor at the nice event called “The Bright tradeshow in Berlin”. We spent there three amazing days (July 03. - 05. 2013) together with top international brands. This place was really good for the presentation of our product portfolio because we met with great understanding and respect for our products. The unique concept of the whole event, the selected exhibitors’ portfolios and the supporting program of “The Bright tradeshow in Berlin” are the indications for our Bright future.
The Bright tradeshow has established itself to a constant venue for streetwear, sneaker, fashion and boardsport in Europe. Driving force and link between the different elements is skateboarding, whose influences shaped decisively the image and authentic character of the different segments.
For a wide variety of brands Bright offers a product-related chance for presentation, its unique concept guarantees a maximum of image and identity. The individual location as well as the product-orientated framework, consisting of an innovative contest/artist program, support the characteristically atmosphere of the off-show. Skateboard culture and the relating side-events (artist shows & nightlife) are important features of the tradeshow; still the commercial aspect takes a primary position. With its concept the Bright tradeshow offers a very positive and comfortable atmosphere without neglecting the function as an interface between distribution and retail.
Wien Fesch’ Markt
Das Retart travels a lot this summer. Our first stop was in Vienna Fesch’ Markt.
We spent nice weekend in old brewery Ottakringer close to the center of Vienna with friends from Die Buffet clothing brand.
We came back with new experiences of Austrian people, with new audience and new connections for our brand.

Founder of the brand: Matúš Kucharovič
The graphic and product designer currently lives and works in the spa town of Piešťany in his own studio Reparat. He studied aesthetics at the Faculty of Education of the Comenius University.

“A great artistic collaboration is the starting point for my work”.
The basis of my philosophy and creative activity is authorial collaboration.
I am not a materialist, even though we work with material. I prefer the author himself and his work, which has the greatest power for me. The entire process of communication and creation, from the design to the realization of the final product, takes place in my creative studio.
- I only use unconventional and interesting materials with an emphasis on ecology
- I have the most modern printing technologies
- I mainly focus on working in digital media
- I process the used work in such a way that its value remains preserved
- I work with more than 80 contemporary authors
I like to create “tailor-made” collaborations for various interesting clients. I materialize the idea of a product in a symbiosis of design and quality.
