Wear Your Roots: The Story Behind If Found Clothing

Founded in November 2012, If Found Clothing has evolved from a simple idea into a powerful way for individuals to express their unique identities through personalized apparel. The journey began with a t-shirt design representing the village name "Tendoville", but it quickly blossomed into something much grander. Let’s dive into the story and the vision that drives this incredible brand.

The Genesis: From Tendoville to Personalization

The initial response to the Tendoville t-shirt was overwhelmingly positive. However, it didn’t take long for requests to flood in from neighboring villages seeking their representation. Recognizing the demand, the founder faced a challenge: how to create a design that could accommodate various village names without sacrificing quality and aesthetic appeal.

Trial and Error for a Perfect Design

• Multiple drafts and rejections: A range of designs were attempted, but none seemed right.
• Printing style: Finding the ideal printing style was another hurdle.
• Breakthrough Moment: In October 2014, the first shirt was successfully printed using flock technology, combining a soft feel with visual appeal.
