Printed T-shirts have, for a while now, been big news, with labels and high street shops everywhere clamouring for the best designs and spot-on trends. Secret Store seeks out the best, new and up-and-coming artists, illustrators and creatives to make imaginative designs.

Founded in London in 2010, hand printed, individual T-shirts are the main focus for Secret Store. All of the designs are all slightly different from one another; they are even numbered, like an artist’s prints, making each design totally unique and absolutely one-off. Printed on ethically produced cotton T-shirts in small, medium, large and extra large sizes, Secret Store’s T-shirts are organically made from concept to creation.

The idea for Secret Store came when co-founder Chris realised he did not want to wear the same mass-produced tees that could be seen time and time again on various people as he walked down the high-street. Realising there was a gap in the market for original and unusual T-shirt design, the Secret Store was born. As well as injecting a little personality into T-shirt prints, Secret Store also focuses on working with new, little-known talents and designers meaning that the designs are fresh and never-before-seen; but at the same time this creates a platform for finding, supporting and promoting new artists, helping them to get their work out into the public eye and producing great exclusive designs.

So where can you get your hands on these unique items of clothing? Currently the designs are sold online through the Secret Store website and if you’re lucky, you might catch them in the real world at one of Brick Lane’s market stalls on a Sunday. Check the T-shirts out for yourself; you certainly won’t be let down.
