Brand of the Free is a shop that makes t-shirts with organic materials. Their shirts are made entirely in the United States, and free shipping is provided in 100% recycled envelopes. Even the materials used in the production of the shirts are grown within the United States. All of this combines to make a very “green” company, a trend I’ve been seeing a lot lately in many industries.
Every once and awhile you stumble upon an idea that is truly unique. One of those ideas is Status King. Status King is a Facebook application that allows you to put the Facebook status of your choice on a shirt. While this idea is surely not protected from imitators, it’s still a clever application to hook into a social network.
Glennz Tees is a t-shirt shop by a New Zealand designer named Glenn Jones. His website name is a blend of his first name and his country, and it’s also his username at the popular t-shirt site Threadless.
I’ve recently discovered an interesting website called Big Cartel. They’ve been around since 2005, but I’ve only just found them recently. They provide services that enable people to sell their products online. I’m going to gloss over the individual details and just give a quick take on the site itself. If I end up using it more in the future, I may do some in depth articles on setting up and running a shop.
Today I’ll be providing a brief overview of laFraise. The name means strawberry in French, and the website is offered in several languages (French, German, and English). They proclaim themselves as “Europe’s biggest T-Shirt design competition.” Each week several designs are chosen from among the hundreds submitted. Chosen designs are then available for purchase on the site in limited quantities.
