lF productpic LaFraise hit the USA... a while ago

I don’t think anyone else has mentioned this, maybe they deemed it not newsworthy, but you all did know that laFraise (Europe’s premiere t-shirt design competition) is now available in the United States, and has been for a few weeks?

I know its been something that has been frequently requested by visitors to the site, so it’s great that they’ve finally managed to get something sorted out. The LaFraise US store is run by Spreadshirt (LF’s parent company) and pretty much looks like any other Spreadshirt store (with LF branding, naturally), except it is filled with the super-awesome designs that I’ve come to expect from LF.

In keeping with LF’s philosophy of keeping things limited, only 100 of each design will be available in the US, I don’t know if this amount cuts into or is on top of the 500 of each design that is available for us Europeans. Another thing I’m not sure about is who prints these tees, are they all shipped from the EU or are the American tees printed up by Spreadshirt USA. I only wonder because of shipping times, I would imagine that print quality will be equal on both sides of the pond since my guess would be that Spreadshirt prints their tees in Europe as well.

Oh, whilst we’re chatting Spreadshirt, they’re on the hunt for a new logo and are having a massive competition to find it, which is being run by Adam from HipHipUK.

    Hi, Andy,

    To answer your questions:
    * We thought it was newsworthy! Thanks for noting it.
    * The 100 does come from the 500 printed in Europe.
    * The shirts are shipped from the US. Well, to be clear, we ship the 100 in bulk to the US and then we ship directly to North American customers directly from the US.

    Thanks!
    Jana

    Thanks a lot for clearing all that up Jana, LF have great designs and I’m glad they’re finally getting to a wider audience.
