16/10/2017Very Bad Geek – Pop Culture in Bordeaux!
Bordeaux’s new Geek and Pop-culture shop has recently been released into the atmosphere in downtown on the rue Sainte-Catherine.
What is VERY BAD GEEK?
VERY BAD GEEK is a universe of geek products and pop culture from cinema, TV series, video games. It’s a concept store where Harry Potter hangs with Darth Vader while Walter White gives them both a foot massage.
It’s also the independent venture of Bordeaux local, Kevin Calleau, who while travelling in a hotted up corvette through the bad lands of Southern California gave birth to the idea that the geek community of Bordeaux needed their very own hub for alternative and pop culture.
THE SHOP:
Located on the rue Sainte-Catherine, towards la victoire, the store greets the visitor with what can be expected when looking for a pop-culture products. There is a good selection of variously priced items and a large range of products orientated to fans of Game of Thrones, Walking
Dead, Star Wars, Avengers, Batman, Breaking Bad etc.
The website is a dedicated online shop where all physical products can be purchased via secure payment gateway.
