Great shirt! Design ripped off by SHEIN… but printed on crappier fabric. I love supporting original artists and quality material.

Response from Aruna Rangarajan

I'm so glad you like your shirt! And it really sucks that SHEIN rips off original artwork:( This one took me hours to design. I'll try to find it and take action!
