Our Story
2020
Kitlaunch was born from a passion for football shirts and football culture. What started as a small online project quickly grew into pop-up events across Ireland, bringing vintage football shirts to collectors and fans.
2021
A move to Barcelona sparked a bigger vision. While studying in the city, our founder Luke established Kitlaunch’s first football club partnership with Venezia FC and began dreaming of opening a store in Barcelona.
2022–2023
We travelled across Ireland hosting pop-up shops in Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Galway, growing the Kitlaunch community one event at a time.
2024
On March 1st, we opened our first physical store in Barcelona, becoming the city’s first dedicated vintage football shirt shop.
2025
One year later, we celebrated our first anniversary, having welcomed thousands of football fans, collectors and tourists through our doors.
2026
As Kitlaunch continued to grow, we moved into a larger flagship store in the heart of Barcelona, creating a new home for football heritage and vintage shirts from around the world.
Today
Kitlaunch is more than a shop. It’s a place for football fans, collectors and nostalgia lovers to discover authentic shirts and celebrate the stories behind them.
And we’re only getting started.
