The Story Behind the Brand
The Relic Origin
How a passionate fantasy gamer turned a personal project into something truly special.
From a Single Stitch
My name is Andry. I've been obsessed with fantasy computer games and everything in that universe: the lore, the aesthetics, the atmosphere. One evening, I decided to do something a little crazy: I sewed a wearable hoodie blanket inspired by a Plague Doctor for myself. Just for fun.
When I shared it online, something unexpected happened. The response was incredible. Thousands of comments, shares, and messages, all asking the same thing: “Where can I get one?”
I realized this wasn't just a personal passion project anymore. People all over the world wanted to feel that same magic. So I got to work: testing fabrics, refining patterns, testing again, improving, testing again. Months of sweat, late nights, and countless iterations.
Today, CozyRelic is operated by NIK CORE LLC, a Florida limited liability company based in St. Petersburg, FL, while I run it all from Prague, where I live. Every Plague Doctor hoodie is stitched, tested, and ready to ship. It's a product we're genuinely proud to bring to the world.
