Brand Questionnaire

As some of you know, we recently ran a short questionnaire. Why? Quite simply because we’re relatively new at this. And like in any partnership, we have our differences. Very democratically we decided to let you – our previous customers – decide for us. So, if you spent your precious time helping us out, many [...]

Out of stock (temporarily)

You might have noticed that we’re out of stock in most sizes at the moment. We’re really sorry about that, and we’re working as hard as we can to re-stock as soon as is humanly possible. Please bear with us, it won’t be more than a few weeks…

New stockist = Miscelanea BCN

This month we welcome to the retail fold, miscelanea from Barcelona. After meeting Fátima at the OFFF conference in Lisbon, she kindly agreed to begin stocking our shirts. So if you’re in BCN over the summer, drop in and tell Fátima what an awesome decision she made ;)

emptees (batch.02)

We’ve got the batch.02 shirts up on emptees, where we’re getting a lot of love for the site but not so much for the shirts. My personal opinion is that its because we’re consicously diverting from the ‘threadless aesthetic’ so prevalent on user-gen sites like this. So good people, I’m asking you to do us [...]

New printers

We’ve recently changed printers to 5th column. If you’re in London then you’ll probably already know them. If you’re not and you fancy getting some shirts printed in the UK I can highly recommend them. They’ve been nothing but helpful, and best of all their quote came in substantially cheaper than our last printers, and [...]

Facebook x the-affair

We’ve finally got around to that new thing all the cool kids are doing, and are now the proud parents of a facebook page. Go and check it out. Even better, become a fan and you’ll make our hearts swell with pride. We’re also testing the waters of advertising on the Facebook behemoth. If you’ve [...]

Merry Xmas etc etc

Just a quick note to wish you a very Merry Xmas and all the best for 2008 – especially those that have bought our first batch of shirts. We’ve been blown away by the whole experience of starting our own brand. We’ve started well, but this is only the beginning. We’re going to have for [...]

Our first stockist!

Big shout out to Sichi and the B2 store on Brick Lane for being the first crew to stock us! If you’re in London, make sure to drop in and say hi… It’s underneath the Bodhi Gallery, just opposite the (in)famous Beigel shop.

Can you speak to our publicist about that?

We’re really excited to welcome Lynn Chinnock to our team. This is mainly because her main job is to make us famous (and then rich, in that order). But apart from that, she’s a lovely girl and she’d almost certainly wear a moustache if she were a man. That makes her cool. What makes us [...]

Shipping returns to normal

Intelligent men and women of the world! After 3 months of free shipping, its (unfortunately) time we return to normal. So from now on it’ll be £3 to anywhere in the world per shirt.

We made these as a little something for the launch party, but we’re also including a couple in every package we ship…

Packaging

OK so packaging might not be the top-most thing to think about when starting a tee brand, but it was something we decided to look into as a point of differentiation… Everyone’s received a generic brown envelope in the mail, with a tee folded in a generic way and wrapped in generic plastic.
