Casual apparel and decor to satisfy your hyperlexic and geeky cravings 🤓🧙🏻♂️
As a stay at home mom of two beautiful boys, I was looking to find some job I could do from home that would allow me the flexibility and time to still take care of my house and kids. I considered many options but none of them were the right fit for me or didn’t worked out.
One day I learned about e-commerce, and the possibility to sell on etsy and other marketplaces, without big upfront investments. This idea sparked my interest and I spent a lot of time researching options, but yet I wasn’t sure what could I sell...
So one night I was looking online for a t-shirt or something to get as a gift for my older kid.
My son is very specific about clothes, fabric chooses for bedding and so on, he is autistic, and hyperlexic, so I thought he would be very happy if I could find something with a pattern that would fit his interests. He has some other challenges, especially in communication, but his mind is like a sponge!. He learned to read before he could talk, and now he loves learning about anything that has to do with letters and numbers. He loves math and geography, astronomy and foreign languages and of course all styles of logos! This has become a source of fun and joy in our house, because I love to learn new things too, I love languages and astronomy and science. Dad also shares this passion for learning.
To my surprise, I couldn’t find anything that would be a good option for him.
So that is how the idea of selling apparel for anyone who enjoys these topics sunk in my brain and blended with the concept of e-commerce. Hyperlexia is sometimes called a splinter skill. This concept of something that breaks the mold and doesn’t follow the same direction as everybody else, gave life to the brand Splintery.
We love geeky stuff, we smile when we see some scientific related images, or a sarcastic or nerdy quote printed on a t-shirt, and we are very passionate about our focus interests that could go from science, to techie and gaming stuff, to obsession about logos.
I welcome you to Splintery, a store where you can find apparel and accessories that will represent your most geeky passions and your wonderful uniqueness.
