Scribtee’s Summer Sale (sssss)


The summer sales just keep on coming, don’t they, forcing me to spend my days indoors writing about sales rather than going outside to enjoy the summer, oh the damned irony!

Scribtee are the latest brand to get in on the act, by offering 8 of their older designs (I think they were the first 8 released when the shop was launched) for the rather reasonable price of $15/€15/£10. If you need reminding about this Berlin-based design competition, here’s my review from November last year.

French Loser’s Summer Line


French Loser had been a bit quiet for a while, but now they’ve come back with a really strong Summer 2008 line up filled with some really colourful designs to help keep the summer mood rolling.

What, what, tally ho and all that, because this is the third British post in a row, you practically need a cup of tea in your hand just to read the blog today!

Famed doodler Jon Burgerman has put his own spin on Yes No Maybe’s name and produced this rather spiffy looking tee. One of the things that I like about Yes No Maybe is that whilst they do put their name in most of their products, they never do it in a way that screams “this is a logo tee, everyone go and buy YNM clothes,” its more like they’re using they tell artists to create a design that is inspired by the name, not about the name, which I guess means that they’ve got a lot of great opportunities for playing with typography. Another interesting thing about this design is that it marks the beginning of YNMs summer colour range, they’re going to be using the traffic light colourway of red, orange, and green over the next few months in a lot of their summer releases, possibly in reference to the ridiculous amounts of traffic that clog up the arteries of Britain’s road network as soon as the sun pops out from behind the clouds for five minutes.

Costiness=£26 Tee Link (that’s the men’s grey tee, other styles and colours can be found here)


Keeping things British, Terratag have also got that summer feeling and thrown a few more items into their sale section.

Check out the selection here.


I know that the vast majority of readers won’t be able to make it to this exhibition, but I really like the way that they’ve designed the promo poster, so I’m sure you guys can at least enjoy that. Here’s the press release for those of you that live in the London area and feel like checking out some fresh pieces from some top artists from Britain and beyond:

Lochers, who sell clothes that I imagine you ladies will like (I’ve really gotta start asking my lady-friends which sites rock and which do not), are having a summer sale, you want details? Here’s ya got dang details:

Boy oh boy! It’s sale season in Paris, and our favorite time of year. In all the shops there is shoving, pushing, swearing and ladies tearing each other limb from limb trying to get a bargain on the latest fashion. So in keeping with this festive mood, we also decided to have a quickie sale to get your rocks off.

The picture is a little small, but I really like the graphic, its a pretty nice twist on the oft-used “I [heart]” style of t-shirt. Shirtcity have also released a wide range of new products that you can start printing designs on, check them out here if that’s your bag (link in German, but there’s plenty of pictures to make it clear what they’re offering now).Costiness=€21.95 Tee Link

Here’s a surprising change in direction, RandomShirts, whose back catalogue largely consists of single-colour pun-based tees, have released their summer line, and there’s not a pun amongst the bunch!

In fact, they seem to have gone for a self-motivation theme, but I would suspect that its ironic self-motivation, so that’s alright. When I look at the designs, I can’t help but be reminded of Vintage Vantage, is anyone else getting that feeling? I guess that’s just because they’re both retro-styled, and the way that the characters look like they’re straight out of a 70s school textbook.

In another change for RandomShirts, the new designs are being printed on American Apparel tees.

Earlier this week when I posted those queue pics of crazed JC fans and attached what I thought was the Summer releases…. I was wrong, the latest round of tees are now available though, I promise!Johnny Cupcakes

It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that I was blogging about their Spring line being released, so I guess summer has been creeping up on me because the summer line has been released and is now available in very limited quantities (something that was stressed in the press release) on their website.
