Got an order from all 50 states!

Been pinning all my brands different orders with the goal to hit all 50 states and the other day I finally got my final state which was Montana!

Made a trucker jacket from vintage military duffle bags

First time doing an upcycling project. It’s cheaper to just buy yards of canvas, but I feel like you can’t really replace the natural fading and distressing you get from these military bags. Let me know what you think, and also feel free to follow on Instagram

Building a women's sleepwear brand in India. Need honest opinions and suggestions on what's missing right now? (this is not a promotion).

I’m in the early stages of building a women's sleepwear brand in India. Before I go any further, I genuinely want to understand what real people feel is missing. I'm at the research stage and want real answers before I make decisions.

Here's the basic idea: affordable luxury sleepwear (Rs. 2000-4500 for a set), 100% natural fabrics (thinking cotton and linen blends), and minimal and clean designs but with some fun elements like colours, bows, etc. Also open to incorporating some Indian elements if that's something people like.

I genuinely want to know:

  • What do you currently buy for sleepwear and where from? (Indian brands, international, random Amazon finds?)
  • What frustrates you most about options currently available in India?
  • What would make you actually spend ₹3,000+ on a pyjama set – what would it need to be/feel/look like?
  • What colours and silhouettes do you actually want – something you'd actually wear?
  • Anything you feel is totally missing from the Indian sleepwear market that no one is doing?
  • Would Indian craft elements in sleepwear appeal to you or feel like too much for something you're sleeping in?

Also, if you've shopped from Indian sleepwear brands, I'd especially love to hear what you thought. Thank you so much!

Streetwear logo feedback

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a logo for my streetwear brand and would love some honest feedback.

I’m aiming for something minimal, modern, and memorable that works well on clothing and branding overall.

What do you think works, what doesn’t, and what would you improve?

Open to all feedback and suggestions

1of1 hand-painted process

Timelapse of me doing multiple pieces back to back ,
i just did a new drop of 50 pieces on my site !! so this is me making them ,
All handpainted 1of1s on upcycled clothing , paints i use are

SPEEDBALL TEXTILE PAINT !!!

the first thing i tell every new brand before they contact a factory

get a sample made somewhere else first.

not from your actual production factory. find a local tailor, a sample room, anywhere. make one physical version of what you want to produce. doesn't have to be perfect. just has to exist.

because the conversation with a factory changes completely when you walk in with something they can touch. you stop describing and they start reacting. "this seam needs to be reinforced here." "this zipper we can source but it'll add two weeks." real information, not guesses.

i spent two years watching brands go back and forth on emails trying to describe a product that only existed in their head. three rounds of samples later, still wrong. not because the factory was bad — just because nobody had ever made the thing before and words are terrible for this.

a physical reference costs maybe $200-400 at a local sample room. it cuts your sampling rounds in half, sometimes more.

anyway — first factory meeting, bring something they can hold. that's it.

Cerco feedback per uno shop

Ciao ragazzi 👋
Sto lavorando a un progetto streetwear chiamato DISTORTIONTS e mi farebbe davvero piacere ricevere qualche feedback sincero da persone appassionate di moda, streetwear e graphic tee.
L’idea del brand è quella di unire grafiche distorte, vibes underground e uno stile più dark/moderno con fit oversize e design particolari.
In questo periodo sto cercando di migliorare soprattutto:
struttura del sito
impatto visivo della homepage
immagini e mockup delle t-shirt
branding generale
pagine prodotto
esperienza utente
Mi interesserebbe sapere:
Quale t-shirt vi colpisce di più?
Il sito vi sembra professionale e affidabile?
Le immagini dei prodotti sono abbastanza curate?
Lo stile del brand vi sembra coerente?
Cosa migliorereste per prima cosa?
Cerco un feedback reale e senza filtri, anche critico.
L’obiettivo è creare un brand con una sua identità e non il classico shop print-on-demand “copia e incolla”.
Sito: https://distortionts.com
Grazie a chiunque spenderà 2 minuti per dare un’occhiata 🙏

How do I start a clothing brand for the US market and choose a good niche and brand name?

I’m planning to start an online streetwear brand (oversized tees, hoodies, etc.) targeting the US, but I’m confused about how to choose the right niche and come up with a strong, memorable brand name.

For people who’ve done this before or have experience, what would you recommend?

Protect Your Brand Series: Question 5

Hi I'm a U.S. based lawyer and I'm occasionally going to drop some tips on protecting your brands (if you haven't already). Responses from non- U.S based brands are encouraged too.

So to start I'm going to do a series polls of all the creative minds and owners here first so my advice is tailored for the sub.

Question 5: can you use other brands in your designs?

Honest opinions: interchangeable art frame concept for kids and families

I have children who absolutely love to draw, and they create so much artwork that they always want us to display their pictures around the house. My partner and I came up with a concept we’re currently exploring involving a detachable/interchangeable frame system where children can easily insert and swap out their artwork, milestones, quotes, or personal creations to showcase them in a more intentional and stylish way.

We’re still trying to figure out the logistics and overall direction of the concept, but I’d really love honest feedback. Do you think this is something that would mainly appeal to children and parents, or do you think adults would also enjoy something like this for things like personal artwork, branding, motivational quotes, seasonal decor, etc.?

Any thoughts or input would genuinely be appreciated.
