The Art Behind the Tees

Wearable Stories, Told Through Design

Each design is printed with care on 100% cotton, ensuring comfort, quality, and a little bit of magic in every stitch.

What our customers have to say -

    "I’m blown away by the quality of these shirts. The cotton feels premium, and the illustration is even more beautiful in person. I’ve never seen designs like this - fun, clever, and proudly South African."

  • Tarryn P.

    “I bought this shirt for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. The fit is perfect (he usually wears L but the M was spot on), and the designs are so cool! It feels so soft and unique - such a refreshing change from the usual T-shirts out there. I’m definitely getting him another one!”

  • Gareth M.
