LadyUmbrella – La Segunda Coleccion

admin    T-Shirt News     Lady Umbrella, LadyUmbrella, T-Shirt News, designer tees, ladies tees, new t-shirts

It’s been quite a while since our first review of LadyUmbrella, a Dublin based t-shirt label for women fuelled by the seemingly unbound talents of Spanish illustrator Elena Montes Casado. It goes without saying that the feature went down a storm (especially with our female readers), the people at LadyUmbrella have described it as one of the best they’ve ever received, and with good reason, great products make a great review. Let’s hope we can do justice with their second collection otherwise known as “La Segunda Coleccion”.

The team at LU were kind enough to let us have a sneak peek at a few tees from the new collection, all of which will be available from the 13th of September, just a couple of days from now! As always all the shirts are cut and sewn to their exacting standards. There’s a tank top on offer titled “Mona LadyUmbrella” plus two further designs “LadyUmbrella and the Merry Go Round” and “LadyUmbrella and the Umbrella Tree” which are printed on their highly popular slinky style t-shirt, that features a swooped neck and longer sleeves. All the t-shirts at LU are 140grsm 100% pure combed cotton and printed with pigment print which is soft to touch, long lasting and shows off the details in the designs really well.

Another big improvement is a wider variety of larger sizes available including XL and XXL, this applies to the new collection plus three old favourites “LadyUmbrella is Away with the Birds”, “LadyUmbrella is Friends with Sir David” and “LadyUmbrella and the Wise Owl”. Plus the new collection features two woven tags instead of one, a neck tag and an additional blue tag on the front seam featuring their (now famous) umbrella logo. All of the designs come with their own unique hang tag which tells the t-shirts tale and is also signed, dated and number by our designer Elena to make each shirt unique to the buyer. This should be a real treat for the more discerning ladies out there seeking something affordable yet stylish for the Fall/Autumn season. Here are some preview shots to tide you over until the 13th.

Al I can say is that LadyUmbrella’s uniquely surreal and illustrative tees have, do and will go down a storm, with over 14,000 combined fans and followers on their Facebook and Twitter accounts and customers worldwide the latest collection of tees is bound to sell out fast.

Back by Popular Demand!

Okay, okay settle down now. We’ve had a lot of emails over the past month or so and they seem to be saying just about the same thing “Come Back!”. We we’re so touched by all the fans and their kind messages that I (Paul), Chris, and the interlopers who help us out now and again have decided that this is most likely fate at work.

We’ve seen our Google PR jump to PR5, we’ve seen the traffic steadily increase rather than drop and we were even in negotiations with a t-shirt company for around a month who were adamant they wanted to buy our blog and keep it intact, yes buy Buy-Tees.net and keep it as an archive of t-shirt news and reviews! The point is we’ve realised there is a place in the world for our little old blog and so we’re jumping back into the fold, testing the water, seeing if the world really does want a heap more of the longest wordiest and over-elaborate t-shirt reviews known to history.

So first things first, we humbly apologise to all those t-shirt companies we have not reviewed over the past month or so, if you’d like to submit your request again here we’ll do our very best to catch up!

Anyway normal service will be resumed shortly!

Now, I’ll warn you, this is most likely the beginning of a long saga, if not an epic of all t-shirt articles. I doubt you can really call it a review because there’s so much to tell you, so much to explain, and so many twists and turns in the story that the word ‘review’ just wouldn’t do it justice. This is the story of the birth of a new and hopefully very successful (fingers crossed) niche target t-shirt label.

Let’s start from the beginning, the very beginning. Now, if you believe in fate, hey you have to believe in something, then you’re probably not the most ardent fan of coincidence. I’m not, in this grizzled addled brain of mine I like to cling on to the small hope that perhaps some things in life have a purpose, and that on those few occasions you should grab life by both horns and wrestle it to the ground.

Now, human beings are complicated creatures, they have individual lives and emotions, each has their own perception on why we are here and what we should be doing, and that means that a lot of us will never meet and if we do we will never agree on the most fundamental precepts of existence. Sometimes that’s a good thing, it means avoiding wars and most painful experiences in life, but sometimes it can be a real shame, glancing back and realising you’ve missed a great opportunity to help (in some small way) others find their way in modern life and all that it entails.

i want to introduce you to two guys, two very different men, both have a love of t-shirts, both want to find their way in the industry, and until recently neither had any idea of the other’s existence. read more

New Tees at SplitReason.com

Welcome to the dark side, SplitReason.com (who I’ve featured before) have sent in a few of their latest designs and they are distinctly leaning on the macabre side, but don’t worry they haven’t left their famous sense of humour, I’m tempted to do a full whack review of this label as they have plenty of goodies on offer but I’m committed (I should be – to a mental home) to helping out a couple of new designers on the verge of breaking an exciting new label that will need all the PR it can muster.

So for now let’s take a look at three new tees at SplitReason… read more

New!! The T-Shirt Toolbar!

admin    T-Shirt News     Firefox, IE, Internet Explorer, T-Shirt News, browser addon, t-shirt links, t-shirt related links, t-shirt toolbar

Okay you’ve probably seen every browser addon under the sun and found most of them of little use (to say the least), however, seeing as you’re reading a t-shirt reviews blog, I’m guessing this maybe something you’d want to pimp up your Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Essentially I’ve put together a rather comprehensive t-shirt toolbar that includes plenty of interesting and related t-shirt links to satisfy your hunger for more t-shirt news and views. There are one-click links to all the major t-shirt review blogs, tons of t-shirt site newsfeeds, t-shirt resources, a chat room, and more!

Take a look for yourself, the browser addon is free, easy to install and will be constantly updated with more content as and when we can pull the community together and build up interest.

Call it a beta if you will :/
