Who’s crazy about books? I am! I love it when my favorite books are made into merchandise. I’d probably have a house full of book to merchandise items if I could afford it! I came across The Dream Shirt last year when I was looking for a gift for my eldest for Christmas. We’re both into books and I was looking for something he could use book related.
We’re into Hunger Games and I saw the perfect Hunger Games shirt because it was black and had the famous quote from the book. I use the shirt too, sometimes!
They have shirts for women now for those who don’t like wearing regular shapeless t-shirts.
The Dream Shirt is an online shop that offers made-to-order shirts, with prints that features quotes and designs based on different books. Each design is printed on a cotton shirt in vinyl or via heat transfer. As of today, most of their selections are based from Young Adult novels like John Green’s ‘Looking for Alaska’ and ‘Fault in our Stars’.
Although their current fan base consists of young people and fanatics of YA masterpieces, The Dream Shirt is planning to target a larger market, tapping in the bookworm crowd in general by providing designs that are based on the classics, fiction novels, and the like. The designs are slated to be released early next year, along with their official relaunch.
They aim to stick to the creation of book-based shirts, and expand its designs by having its own artistic team that will put their ideas into reality. They are also aiming to be more present offline by participating in bazaars and other book related activity. Their website is also in the works, aiming to provide a better experience for their customers.
The Dream Shirt has reached 2.5K likes after a year of operating online. With more and more fangirls and fanboys finding out about the online shop, The Dream Shirt is planning to have its relaunch come 2015, which includes creating a line for locally published books, releasing more collections, and a collaboration giveaway with Fandom Trinkets PH.
I’m excited about this collaboration. I might finally get some Harry Potter items!
