Unauthorized Goods.

For years, agencies made me second-guess my work, as if their safe, uninspired design choices were the only way forward. These choices are made to protect job titles, not push boundaries. These choices dilute creativity and turn artists into replaceable assets.

So I stopped listening, and I built something they wouldn’t dare to approve.


This isn’t just about Hola Lou. It’s bigger than that.
Th
is a platform for creatives across disciplines: artists, designers, engineers, architects, photographers, and makers who are tired of the industry shutting down bold ideas. Here, we take control by collaborating, by exploring each other’s fields, and by bringing to life the things they told us we couldn’t make.

Unauthorized Goods is a design-first collection where each piece exists because it wasn’t supposed to: This is where art, object design, and culture collide. Free from the constraints of agencies, corporate committees, and safe ideas. Everything here is limited edition, numbered, and made for those who move differently.


Edition 001—
Basketball.

A similar basketball was initially designed for a well-known international brand. Diana from marketing said I wasn’t using elegant colors.

So I made my own.
Sorry Diana, we’re not playing the same game.

Edition of 50. Shipped on a hand-painted box by Lou.
Every piece comes with an acrylic base for display, Certificate of Authenticity, numbered and signed.

All National and International orders will be shipped May, 2025.

Made possible by people who get it.

These are the creators, photographers, thinkers, builders, and doers who understood the mission and helped bring it to life. 👀✨ They didn’t just contribute, they shaped this drop.
