A Visit to the Nirvana-Kurt Cobain Unplugged Exhibit

A few weeks ago, I visited the Kurt Cobain Unplugged exhibit at the Royal College of Music Museum

I thought I was going to see some cool memorabilia. I didn’t expect to find myself fighting back tears. 

There it was. The Martin D-18E guitar, auctioned for $6 million.
Beside it, Cobain’s famously worn-out olive mohair cardigan. Bought second-hand in the 90s for $16. Later sold for over $300,000. 

Neither looked shiny or pristine.

But standing in front of them, I wasn’t thinking about price.
I was thinking about how that performance, that music, made me feel back then. And how it still does now.

I remembered my younger self. That era of music still shapes me today. And I realised something I think I’ve always known.

All Things Dylan was born from that same spirit.

Yes, Dylan is named after a world-famous musician. Yes, music runs deep in our house. But more than that, this brand was shaped by values that still matter.

Individuality. Realness. Choosing meaning over mass.

We don’t sell perfect clothes. We curate pieces that feel lived-in, loved, and full of character.

Because just like that $16 cardigan, the most powerful things aren’t flashy. They’re the ones that stay with you. The ones that mean something.

A Quiet Nod to the Music

You’ll spot a few vintage guitars and drum kits in our collection now and then. It’s not just for show. It’s a quiet tribute to the music, and the mindset, that made us.

Thanks for reading. And for being part of this journey. One filled with rhythm, memory, and raising little originals who colour outside the lines.
