The first batch of shirts will be delivered in early December to act as a conversation starter for the holidays, connecting people in a more meaningful way beyond a mere novelty tee, according to the creator.
Some of this year’s customers have agreed to share the stories behind their shirts, with English actress and singer Cynthia Erivo explaining that the picture on her shirt is of her mother and sister taken a couple of days after her sister was born in September 1989. She expressed that wearing the shirt is a special way for her to carry both her sister and mother with her while she is away traveling.
