Graffiti artist Banksy has set up an online shop selling products including riot helmets turned into disco balls and the stab-proof vest he designed for Stormzy.

Named Gross Domestic Product, the online shop officially opened on 17 October, just a few weeks after the artist announced the launch of his own merchandise line with a pop-up shop installation in Croydon, UK.

Banksy claimed that he was forced to release the branded merchandise following legal action from an unnamed greeting-card company that was trying to “seize legal custody” of his name.

Products on sale range from as little as £10 for an empty spray paint can to £850 for the Union Jack stab-proof vest that British rapper Stormzy wore during his headline set at this year’s Glastonbury festival and a non-functional clutch bag made from a brick.
