Why We’ll Never Call It 'Merch' Again
Share
Merch Is Dead. Long Live the Drop.
We’re not here to sell tees with names on them. We’re here to build a wardrobe that listens back.
"Merch" is what gets thrown on a table at the exit gate. No sizing. No story. No soul.
Strumwear is the opposite.

Designed with intent
-
Artist-approved
-
Fashioned for fandom, not just fandom-adjacency
The Licensing Game, Rewritten
TNC isn’t printing designs off Google. We work directly with Universal Music India. Every drop is:
-
Licensed
-
Artist-backed
-
Designed and produced locally
No copies. No compromises.
Fashion. But With a Bassline
You’ve seen drops with Virgil. With Travis. With Billie. We love that energy.
But India needed a homegrown answer. Something that wasn’t borrowed. Something that didn’t look like a foreign drop with local tax slapped on.
This is it.
We Don't Use the Word Merch. And We Mean It.
Because TNC isn’t a store. It’s a movement. It’s a genre-first, fashion-forward, fan-powered community.
And we’re just getting started.
