Care Instructions
How should I wash my shirt?
Turn garments inside out to preserve the integrity of the design. Use cold water only, and laundry detergent without bleach. Dry on low under normal settings. Expect about 5-7% (about half a shirt size) shrinkage after a normal wash for our cotton shirts. Wash colors separately from whites, especially on the first wash.
Over time, you may experience slight fading on the graphic as your shirt naturally weathers with repeated washings.
Why does my shirt smell strange?
The printing process involves preparing the shirt with a setting spray – this helps the design take to the shirt and makes for a long-lasting print. The spray does have an odor and if the shirt is packaged soon after printing, the smell can linger a bit.
Not to worry! The smell should go away on its own, but if it persists you can flip the shirt inside out and wash it on cold and dry on low. Or you can rinse the garment in cold water and hang it to dry! Either should get rid of any residual odor. If the smell remains, feel free to let us know via our Contact page.
Why did my shirt arrive with faded spots all over it?
The last step of the printing process includes the use of a setting spray to make sure the design stays on the shirt. Occasionally this spray can leave faded spots on the shirt, but those should wash out after the first wash! If they don’t, Contact page and we’d be happy to rectify this for you.
How do I care for my hat?
It’s recommended to spot clean hats with a damp cloth only. Hats can not be laundered.
How do I make sure my tote bag stays clean?
It’s not recommended that tote bags be washed in the washing machine, but you can keep them looking spiffy by spot cleaning or dry cleaning!
Can I wash my pillows?
Yes! All pillows consist of an outer cover and an insert. Please note that these pieces have different care instructions:
- Cover: Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and no bleach. Tumble dry low.

Are the wall tapestries washable?
