Like our Cascading Leaves and Maple Leaf designs, this image is based on one of my original photographs. All or flora or "leaves" designs start as macro photos of different types of leaves that capture their delicate lines and veins. Then these images are digitally edited to enhance the contrast and create transparencies, which are exposed onto the silkscreens. Next, they're handprinted onto the shirt fabric. In the case of "The Reader" design, things took a bit of a whimsical turn as I played around with superimposing the reading man, taken from another original photograph, into the leaf image.
This tee was milled, cut, and sewn in Ontario, within 100KM of our studio.
Materials:
Rayon from bamboo 67%
Organic cotton 27%
Spandex 6%

Sizing Tips
Our Made in Canada women's fit tees are a relaxed style. Choose your regular size for a roomy, casual fit, or size down if you like your tee a little more fitted without being too clingy.
Measurements are with garment lying flat. Width is 1" below arm hole across chest; length is from top shoulder hem to bottom hem.
Washing Guide
How you take care of your tees matters!
- Wash in cold water.
- Wash less often to maximize lifespan.
- Machine wash, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
- Wash inside out to maintain longest-lasting ink quality
Sustainability
We use home-compostable, zero-waste Hero mailers or recyclable cardboard envelopes for all our orders.
We print all our tees to order, which drastically reduces textile waste (we have virtually no 'wasted' inventory).
We are also a part of Shopify Planet program, where a portion of revenue from every sale goes towards funding innovative carbon-removal projects around the world. We are involved in soil and reforestation projects. Read more here.
Thank you for supporting responsible inventory practices. Thank you for supporting Canadian craft and design!

When will I get my order?
We hand print all of our tees and make all of our items to order. Typically, we work on 1-2 print lists a week, which means we compile all the orders over a certain time period and get them printed and out the door.
This means it usually takes us about 5-12 days to get a tee pulled, printed, and packaged.
Our processing time also factors in time for supplier delays (waiting on blanks that we have run out of in the studio) or minor equipment damage (such as a tear on a silkscreen).
If we ever experience a significant delay on an order, one of us (probably Monica!) will reach out to you to explain the issue and problem solve.
In any circumstance, we do our very best to keep production running smoothly so that we can get your order out to you in a reasonable time frame!
We very much appreciate your patience and for choosing small-scale and hand printed!
