Awesome Coen Brothers

If you’ve seen the Coen Brothers’ film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, you’ll immediately recognize the song I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow, made famous by The Soggy Bottom Boys.

Hygge & West’s Abide collection will really tie your room together. Their Big Lebowski-themed wallpaper and shower curtain are covered with a hypnotic vintage-style pattern packed with imagery from the Coen Brothers’ classic.

The Coen Brothers’ 2000 movie O, Brother Where Art Thou featured a fantastic bluegrass soundtrack, highlighted by George Clooney’s lip-syncing to Dan Tyminski’s version of Man of Constant Sorrow.

The Dude abides as a 1/6th-scale figure that’s a dead ringer for Jeff Bridges’ iconic character from The Big Lebowski.

The Sideshow version comes with an exclusive hand holding a joint.

The soft-baked treats are flavored with vanilla bean and almond extract and hand-decorated with a vanilla glaze. At $8 per cookie, they’re not cheap but are a great gift for Coen Brothers fans.
