Story behind the merch 🎨📖

“What you give is yours; what you keep is lost.” — Shota Rustaveli 🇬🇪❤️
„რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რაც არა დაკარგულია.“

🛍️ Available in our HodaGeorgia Etsy shop:
www.etsy.com/shop/HodaGeorgia

One of our favorite HodaGeorgia designs celebrates Shota Rustaveli, one of the greatest figures in Georgian literature and the author of The Knight in the Panther’s Skin — one of the most important works of Georgian culture. 🇬🇪📖

At the heart of the design is one of Rustaveli’s most famous lines:

“What you give is yours; what you keep is lost.”

A simple but powerful idea about generosity, humanity, and the things that truly remain ours when we share them with others. ❤️

And we wanted to make the design a little more playful…

So we imagined Shota Rustaveli himself speaking to Queen Tamar, with a little message:

“Tamar, you should read this.” 😄👑📖

The tote bag combines Georgian literature, history, humor, and a little piece of the Georgian spirit — making it a perfect gift for anyone who loves Georgia, Rustaveli, Georgian culture, or simply believes that what we give to others is what truly stays with us. 🇬🇪❤️

Carry a piece of Georgian literature with you. 🎨📖🇬🇪

Story behind the merch 🎨📖

“Every day, ask yourself: What good have I done for someone today?” — Ilia Chavchavadze Edition 🇬🇪❤️

🛍️ Available in our HodaGeorgia Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/HodaGeorgia

One of our favorite HodaGeorgia designs is inspired by Ilia Chavchavadze — one of the most important figures in Georgian history and culture, often remembered as the “Father of the Nation.” 🇬🇪

Ilia was much more than a writer and poet. He was a journalist, publisher, public thinker, educator and one of the leading figures of Georgia’s national revival in the 19th century.

Through his writing and public work, he fought for something he believed Georgia desperately needed: education, cultural identity, social responsibility and the preservation of the Georgian language. 🇬🇪📖

For Ilia, patriotism wasn’t simply about loving your country — it was also about doing something useful for it.

Ilia’s life came to a tragic end in 1907, when he was assassinated near Tsitsamuri. His death shocked Georgian society, and his legacy continued to grow long after him.

So we created our own little tribute to him:
A reminder to ask ourselves what good we have done today. ❤️

Perfect as a gift for someone who loves Georgia, Georgian literature, history, Ilia Chavchavadze — or simply someone who believes that doing a little good every day matters. 🇬🇪❤️

Story behind the merch 🎨📖
“It’s OK to be dramatic.” — Galaktion Tabidze Edition 🇬🇪🖤

🛍️ Available in our HodaGeorgia Etsy shop
www.etsy.com/shop/HodaGeorgia

One of our favorite HodaGeorgia designs is inspired by Galaktion Tabidze, one of Georgia’s greatest and most beloved poets. 🇬🇪🖤

His life was filled with poetry, loneliness, love, loss, trauma and tragedy. His inner world was incredibly intense, and much of that emotional darkness found its way into his poetry.

The 1930s were especially devastating. During Stalin’s Great Terror, his wife, Olga Okudzhava, was executed, leaving Galaktion to carry another enormous personal loss during one of the darkest periods of Soviet history.

He struggled with severe emotional turmoil throughout his life and made several suicide attempts.

And eventually, in 1959, while being treated in a psychiatric hospital, Galaktion died after jumping from a window.

So we created our own playful tribute to the poet of endless drama, beauty and melancholy:

“It’s OK to be dramatic.” 🖤

You can find this original Galaktion-inspired design on:

🛍️ Tote Bags
☕ Mugs — Galaktion on one side & the Georgian alphabet on the other
💄 Cosmetic Purses / Makeup Pouches

A little piece of Georgian literature, history, melancholy and humor — inspired by one of the most unforgettable figures in Georgian culture.

Perfect as a gift for someone who loves Georgia, Georgian poetry, Galaktion — or simply someone who has a tendency to make everything just a LITTLE more dramatic 🙌😎

THE STORY BEHIND OUR GEORGIAN ALPHABET MERCH 🇬🇪😍 Which one would you choose? 👀☕

Shop on Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/HodaGeorgia

The Georgian aphabet has 33 letters: 5 vowels and 28 consonants. 🔤
On our designs, the red letters are the 5 vowels, while the final letter, ჰ, is yellow simply because… well, it’s the last one. 😄

You’ll find the alphabet on our tote bags 🛍️ and coasters, keeping the design clean and minimal.

But the mugs tell a little more of a story. ☕🇬🇪

01 — Galaktioni
One side has the Georgian alphabet, and on the other, Galaktioni seems to be telling you:
“It’s okay to be dramatic.”
And honestly… coming from Galaktion, who are we to argue? 😄

02 — Akaki & Suliko
The alphabet on one side, and Akaki on the other with a little reminder:
“Keep smiling, Suliko.”
A small nod to one of the most beloved figures and songs in Georgian culture. ❤️

03 — “I’ve been to Georgia. And you?” 🏔️🇬🇪
Georgian mountains, the flag, and a question for anyone who has fallen a little bit in love with this country:
I’ve been to Georgia. And you?

04 — Georgian in a Mug ☕
This one is for anyone learning Georgian — or anyone who has ever wanted to say something in Georgian, lit practice with sip of drink 😄

It features simple, useful Georgian phrases in a little dialogue, so you can actually use what you see.

a little piece of Georgian language, culture, humor and character that you can carry with you. 🇬🇪

Whether it’s a tote bag, a coaster or a morning coffee mug — we hope it makes Georgian feel a little closer.

Story behind the merch 🎨💸 “Save Your Money — PLEASE!” — Pirosmani Edition 🇬🇪

www.etsy.com/shop/HodaGeorgia

One of our favorite HodaGeorgia designs is inspired by Niko Pirosmani, Georgia’s beloved self-taught artist. 🇬🇪🖤

Pirosmani lived a simple and often extremely poor life. He dedicated himself to painting, but during much of his life he had very little money and struggled to make a living from his art.

And then there is the famous story about the actress Marguerite. 🌹

According to the legend, Pirosmani fell deeply in love with the French actress Marguerite de Sèvres when she visited Tbilisi. The story says that he spent almost everything he had to buy enormous amounts of flowers for her — covering the street in front of her hotel with flowers. 🌹🌹🌹

Romantic? Absolutely.
Financially responsible?… Not exactly. 😂💸

The story has become part of the legend surrounding Pirosmani — a man who was perhaps much better at expressing himself through art and grand gestures than at saving money.

So we created our own playful tribute:

“Save Your Money — PLEASE!” 😄

You can find this original Pirosmani-inspired design on:

👛 Wallets / Purses
📂 Travel Document Organizers
🛍 Tote Bags

A little piece of Georgian art, history, humor and storytelling — and perhaps a gentle reminder from Pirosmani himself:

SAVE YOUR MONEY. PLEASE. 😂🇬🇪

Perfect as a gift for someone who loves Georgia, Georgian art, Pirosmani — or simply has a complicated relationship with their wallet. 😄
