Seventeen years ago, I launched Originalitees because I was tired of shirts that shrunk after one wash.
I wanted to create apparel people actually wanted to wear. Shirts that were soft, fit well, represented where they came from, and held up over time.
I had no idea that one decision would turn into 17 years of pop-ups, partnerships, road trips, late nights, incredible customers, and a community that has supported this brand every step of the way.
It hasn't always been easy. There have been amazing highs and some really difficult moments. But through it all, Originalitees has continued to grow because of you.
As we celebrate Year 17, we're bringing back some nostalgia, introducing new ideas, and creating experiences we've never done before.
Now I want to hear from you...
- What's your favorite Originalitees shirt of all time?
- What design would you love to see us bring back?
If you have an Originalitees shirt, post a picture in the comments or send us a DM! I'd love to see all the places our shirts have been over the last 17 years.
Thank you for every purchase, every share, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement.
Here's to 17 years... and beyond. ❤️
