Meeting With Electric Tees
Tuesday, 18 September 2012
Since finding out about Electric Tees
a few weeks ago I have become addicted to their amazing graphic prints
and eco-friendly way of life; So eco-friendly in fact, that their
clothes are made from ethically sourced, their labels are made from
recycled paper and their postage bags are biodegradable
Last
week Andrew & I went down to creative center on london; Shoreditch
and popped in for a chat with the person behind the brand! What an
amazing place to work in! Shorditch is full of creative and stylish
people, its very insperational and perfect for this brand.
