About Us
Past Life Tees began with a simple idea: everything deserves a second life, especially our clothes and our ideas. In the early days, we scoured local nonprofit thrift stores for hand-selected garments and gave them new purpose, one print at a time. Each shirt was pressed by a local, family-owned small business, keeping the work close to home and ensuring every purchase supported real people and real missions — not shareholders. Those one-of-a-kind thrifted and hand-printed shirts remain at the heart of who we are.
As our community grew, so did the need to share our designs more widely. To stay true to our values, we turned to online print-on-demand — a way to reduce waste by producing only what customers want. Today, alongside our thrifted line sold locally, we also offer an online shop with new garments made from organic natural fibers and recycled fibers, expanding sustainable choices while keeping our commitment to care for the earth and community intact.
Rooted in the principles of karma and collective care, Past Life Tees invites wearers to reflect, resist, and repair — in style and in spirit. It’s fashion with a footprint you can feel good about.
