MEMO – Distinctive Items Filled with Georgian Emotion

The story of MEMO begins in the heart of Tbilisi, inside a beautiful space located on Kote Afkhazi Street. The place is equally captivating for both tourists and locals alike. Your eyes can’t help but wander across the small, unique items that beautifully represent our country. Each collection has its own story and a unique way of expression — whether it’s vintage or modern posters, vinyl records, textiles, books, or ceramics. The collection is diverse, yet most of the pieces are available only as one-of-a-kind creations. There’s a special atmosphere inside the MEMO store. Every detail emphasizes the brand’s uniqueness. The works, created with love, radiate a harmony of colors and beauty that truly capture Georgia’s spirit.

On the website Memories.ge, we’ve showcased most of the items and artworks available at the MEMO store. However, we highly encourage everyone to visit us in person and experience the atmosphere — a place where genuine Georgian emotion resides. After several months of observation, we realized that this emotion is truly contagious — it reaches every visitor who walks through our doors. There are moments when guests spend nearly an hour inside the store, exploring the handmade pieces and talking with our consultants to find exactly the one that matches their mood and spirit.

At MEMO, beyond functionality, every decorative element carries a story — vases adorned with illustrations, flowers, ornaments, and traditional Georgian balconies. The palette of colors seems to radiate warmth, making you instantly realize how much coziness it would bring into your home. Turn your head and you’ll notice a beautiful teapot with uniquely shaped cups, painted with Georgian motifs. You can already imagine that every cup of tea you enjoy in your cozy kitchen will remind you of Georgia and Tbilisi… and the feeling goes on endlessly. Every shelf and corner of the store hides something unexpected — an item you may never have thought you needed, but the moment you see it, you feel it’s yours. You even want to share that feeling with a friend. This emotion is especially strong when you look at the posters inspired by different regions of Georgia. Their vivid colors, character, and mood strike you instantly, and you realize how perfect one would look above your desk. Nearby, a consultant might tell you the story behind those illustrations — how they were created over the years and how long it took to prepare them for you, exactly as they were meant to be — to touch your emotions and echo the notes of Georgia’s soul. A few steps further, you reach the corner where a handmade Georgian alphabet canvas, embroidered with golden threads, catches your eye. The Georgian script, one of only 14 existing alphabets in the world, is a source of immense pride for us. We strive to represent it in various forms, to cherish it, and to share this love with others — or gift it as a keepsake. It’s beautiful, truly beautiful. It took a long time to paint, but it carries the same emotion every Georgian feels when looking at it.

There’s always something happening at MEMO — and if you’re reading this on our website or social media, we’re truly glad to have your attention.
But we’d love to invite you to visit us in person. That way, we can get to know each other better and share our stories face-to-face the way real connections are made.
