How Shopwithay Came to Be

Every great brand has a story, right? Ours started in a garage—yep, classic, we know. Picture this: a couple of friends, a sketchpad, and a dream to create something real. Back in 2018, our founder, Ayanna (Ay to her friends), was doodling designs during a late-night coffee run. She grew up here, surrounded by the kind of people who wear their hearts on their sleeves—literally. She thought, “Why not make clothes that feel like home?” And just like that, Shopwithay was born.

Ayanna didn’t just want to slap logos on T-shirts. She wanted to capture the spirit of our town—the way the leaves turn gold in the fall, the buzz of the local music scene, the laughter at the diner on a Saturday morning. Honestly, it’s less about fashion and more about feeling. We’re not chasing trends that fade faster than a summer tan. We’re creating pieces that stick with you, like a song you can’t stop humming.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing. Early on, we had our share of hiccups—think misprinted tees and late-night debates over whether “vintage indigo” was too blue. But those moments? They shaped us. They taught us to listen to our customers, to keep things real, and to never skimp on quality. Today, Shopwithay is a love letter to our community, and we’re just getting started.

What’s the Deal with Shopwithay?

So, what makes us tick? At our core, we’re about three things: quality, creativity, and community. Let me explain.

• Quality: We’re picky about our materials—think soft, durable cotton blends that feel like a hug from your favorite sweater. Our T-shirts and hoodies are made to last, whether you’re wearing them to a concert or just lounging on the couch.
• Creativity: Our designs? They’re inspired by the world around us. From quirky slogans that make you chuckle to bold graphics that turn heads, every piece is a little work of art. We even collaborate with local artists to keep things fresh and authentic.
• Community: We’re not some faceless corporation. We’re your neighbors, your friends, the folks you wave to at the grocery store. Supporting Shopwithay means supporting local jobs, local talent, and that warm, fuzzy feeling of keeping it close to home.

Here’s a little confession: we’re obsessed with making you smile. When you open your Shopwithay package, we want it to feel like unwrapping a gift from a friend. That’s why we pour so much love into every stitch, every design, every detail. It’s not just about selling clothes—it’s about creating moments. Ever pull on a hoodie that just feels right? That’s the Shopwithay magic.

Our T-Shirts and Hoodies: Made for You

Let’s talk about the good stuff—our gear. Our T-shirts and hoodies are like the Swiss Army knife of wardrobes: versatile, reliable, and ready for anything. Whether you’re layering up for a crisp autumn day or rocking a tee at a summer festival, we’ve got you covered. Literally.

Our T-shirts come in all the classic fits—crew neck, V-neck, slim, relaxed—you name it. They’re made from premium cotton that’s soft enough for Netflix marathons but tough enough for a pickup basketball game. Our hoodies? They’re the kind of cozy you’d steal from your best friend’s closet. Think kangaroo pockets, sturdy drawstrings, and a fit that’s just right—not too baggy, not too tight.

What sets us apart is our designs. We draw inspiration from the little things that make life special. Maybe it’s a lyric from a local band, a nod to the mountains we hike, or a cheeky phrase that captures the mood of a lazy Sunday. We’re not afraid to have fun, either—our “Tacos Before Vows” tee is a fan favorite, and don’t get us started on our hoodie with a retro cassette tape graphic. It’s like wearing nostalgia.

Oh, and sustainability? We’re all in. We use eco-friendly inks and partner with suppliers who care about the planet as much as we do. Because, let’s be real, nobody wants to wear a hoodie that’s bad for Mother Earth. Our packaging is recyclable, too—because small changes add up, you know?

Why Go Local with Shopwithay?

Okay, let’s get real for a second. Why shop with a local brand like us instead of some big-box retailer? It’s a fair question. Here’s the thing: when you buy from Shopwithay, you’re not just getting a T-shirt or hoodie. You’re investing in a community. You’re supporting the artist who sketched that killer design, the printer who made sure every color pops, and the small business that’s pouring its heart into every order.

Shopping local is like choosing homemade pie over store-bought. It’s got that extra layer of love, that personal touch you can’t fake. Plus, we know our customers. We get what it’s like to want clothes that feel like you—not some cookie-cutter trend from a mega-corporation. When you shop with us, you’re joining a movement to keep things real, keep things local, and keep things awesome.

And here’s a little digression, because I can’t help myself: there’s something so satisfying about supporting the underdog, right? Like cheering for the hometown team even when they’re up against the big leagues. That’s us—small but mighty, with a whole lot of heart.

A Peek Behind the Curtain

Ever wonder what goes into making a T-shirt or hoodie that feels like it was made just for you? Let me pull back the curtain. Our creative process is a bit like cooking your favorite meal—part science, part art, and a whole lot of love. It starts with brainstorming sessions where we toss around ideas like confetti. Sometimes it’s a doodle on a napkin; other times, it’s a late-night epiphany inspired by a sunset or a good playlist.

Once we’ve got a design, we work with local artists and printers to bring it to life. Our team tests every fabric, every fit, every detail to make sure it’s just right. We’ve had moments where we’ve scrapped entire batches because the shade of blue wasn’t quite perfect. Call us perfectionists, but we think you deserve the best.

And the best part? We’re always listening. Got a design idea? Hit us up. We love hearing from our customers, whether it’s a suggestion for a new graphic or feedback on how our hoodies hold up after a dozen washes. It’s like we’re all part of the same creative crew, building something awesome together.
