More than just tees — they’re your bookish badge of honor. Every design is created by and for readers, blending wit, charm, and a shared love for stories. It’s how book lovers recognize each other — a knowing smile, a spark of conversation, and an instant connection.
Every great story deserves comfort. That’s why our tees are crafted from 100% breathable, ring-spun cotton — soft enough for marathon page-turning, yet durable enough for everyday adventures. They’re true-to-size, wash-resistant, and built to last, so the only thing you’ll be changing is the book in your hands.
Great stories last forever — waste shouldn’t. That’s why we print every tee on demand, reducing overproduction and keeping things planet-friendly. And because readers care about more than books, we plant a tree for every shirt sold. Together, we’re growing a greener chapter for the world we all read in.
