inink is…
…inventive
Whether you’re a zillionaire tech mogul unveiling the latest must-have gadget or simply whiling away some spare time with friends or family, the humble t-shirt is a staple in any wardrobe. This makes it a unique item from a design perspective, and perhaps the ultimate blank canvas in the fashion world. Faced with such infinite potential, inink seeks to incorporate ingenuity and the intimately familiar.
…interactive
When every phone is now a computer, every home theatre a potential VR studio, and every car on the verge of driving itself, why should your wardrobe get left behind? Modern materials and intuitive design allow inink to strike the perfect balance between ‘fun’ and ‘functionality’ in ways that excite interest and invite experimentation, forging new connections while making life that little bit easier.
…inclusive
In an industry obsessed with the concept of ‘exclusivity’, inink bucks the trend, embracing in its stead the belief that we are all united in being individual. Designs that reflect life’s simple pleasures capture a spirit of nostalgia but also celebrate those incidental moments that will one day become treasured memories, appealing to the young as well as the young at heart.
…independent
They say it’s what’s inside that counts, and this is especially true of t-shirts – whether it’s how much you hand over at the counter or an intangible value attached to the brand name printed on the tag. When that tag reads inink you’ve supported an artisan who strives to make sure that you have the best possible canvas to create a visual brand all of your own and leave an inedible mark, in ink.

SCOOTER [ zip-e-TEE ]
Sipping espresso in the café, a familiar face glances back from the silver coffee pot. Zipping over cobblestones, window boxes sporting red and white flowers resonate with a cosmopolitan spirit. Gripping the throttle, this urban adventurer has a sting in the tail…
This wrap-around [front to back] functional design incorporates a flat scooter print overlaid with reflective head, indicator and tail light patches. Each patch consists of a flexible and highly reflective [3M] material sewn directly onto the shirt, allowing comfort and durability while creating maximum impact in low-light conditions.

CAN [ TEE-pop ]
The air is scorching. A bead of sweat runs down your neck, while your throat is dry as dust. Sunlight beams off the coins as you feed them into the slot, one-by-one. You hit the button, there’s a rumble, and finally it’s in your hand… *KSHICK*!
This one-sided [front] feature design incorporates a flat drink can print and 3D burst of bubbly soda. Urethane resin is applied by hand, giving each burst a unique shape and making every shirt a one-off design. Available in two thirst-quenching flavors: spritely green and fantastique orange.
