Offbeat Youth.

Morning everyone!! I'm gonna post about something a little different today.  About 2 years ago when i finished Uni i found myself doing nothing, I moved back home from London and was finding it so hard to find a job up here so i decided i needed to do something myself, this is when i started Peace Love& Tees, with my lovely business partner Jack, it was our own T-Shirt business. At the time when we started it everyone seemed to be starting one and doing the same thing, their logo stuck on the chest and selling them for stupid prices, so we wanted to do something different to stand out.  


A few of our Designs from Peace, Love& Tees



 The lovely blogger Beth Hammond done a lovely blog post on our tee's that you can check out here and here


Jack isn't much of an arty person but he is very creative, and has a wonderful mind, so we worked together, if he had a design in his head i would then try and get it on paper. Once we had a final design i would then hand draw it onto the T-Shirt.  I done this for quite a while and they become very popular but i was struggling to keep up, it sometimes took 3 hours a time to do one design, so when i eventually got a job it was physically impossible so decided i needed to think about other ways to do it, so i put it on hold for a while until i figured something out. And then... everything got turned upside down, we were told there was another clothing label with almost the same name, so we had to do a complete re-brand. It took a while to get everything back but we are almost there, it took a while to think of a new name and make sure no one else had it.





Offbeat Youth! Our new name! We have lots of new designs coming soon and i'm so excited for everyone to see them. This time we are screen printing most of out designs so we can use more colours and make them more exciting. I'll be doing a few blog posts now and again and keeping everyone upto date. For more regular updates you can check us out here:



We will also be looking for bloggers to review some of our designs when they are launched. Let me know if you are interested, there is a free T-Shirt in it for you!
