Kukuxumusu started out in Pamplona during the Sanfermines of 1989.
Gonzalo, Koldo and Mikel only had the simple aim of making some beer money for the Fiesta and having some fun at the same time. They set about designing some T-shirts with funny drawings of the bull-running and selling them on the street because they felt the ones available at that time didn’t come up to much.
The idea took off in a big way. As they weren’t born yesterday, they decided to try out some more designs for the Fiestas in some of the neighboring towns. Once again they hit the nail on the head.
Little by little, their fun idea started turning into a serious project, with new friends getting involved in the story.
Nowadays, Kukuxumusu is a small thriving business, dedicated to distinctive designs and drawings for different things (T-shirts, postcards, ceramics, key-holders……) for the commercial market.
KUKUXUMUSU products can be found in many different kinds of places. Our tee shirts, and some other products that we specialize in, are sold at over a thousand outlets all over Europe.
But here at Kukuxumusu we also authorize our drawings out to other companies (licenses). So, our drawings can be found on all kinds of articles and this means that our collection of fauna are sent to some of the most unexpected corners of the planet. These items include notebooks, copybooks, pens, bags, satchels, socks, tablecloths etc. Thanks to the commercial network which these companies have, the distinctive Kukuxumusu brand can now be found in more than 60 countries around the world.
In 1996 we opened our first KUKUXUMUSU shop exclusively selling our own products. You can find all our exclusive shops at the "Official shops” section.
In 1997 we opened another shop - the Kukuxumusu On-Line Shop where you can find a stack of products, novelties and offers.
From the beginning, KUKUXUMUSU has been collaborating on many different projects with its drawings: mountaineering expeditions, ecology movements, cultural and social events, etc. It has also been fulfilling orders for a wide range of institutions, companies, thematic parks, student trips, etc. where they have been working in collaboration with BOKART.
You may also come across some special compilations that have been specially made for thematic parks, museums or leisure centers. Those type of establishments that create areas where people can find unique experiences.
Kukuxumusu has not forgotten its origins and its love for Sanfermin and it has made the annual fiesta its “visiting card”, www.sanfermin.com, as well as creating a fantastic guide to the Sanfermin Fiesta on the web: www.sanfermin.com/guide
KUKUXUMUSU signifies in the Basque Language, “the kiss of the flea”.
