I've decided to start a new series--branching off of my attempted series of posts about companies Belindabilly works with for our collections--of posts about sustainable, responsible, and small businesses that we personally patronize and trust, and would like to recommend to you, called "Belindabilly Recommends".
I'm excited to begin this series by recommending to you a brand new creative company called Tourtoise Tee. Founded by a good friend and fellow alumni of SAIC, Joey Jacks, Tourtoise Tee brings together independent artists/designers and unsigned or local bands to collaborate and create limited edition t-shirts, each available for only one week.
What we love about the idea, other than the explosion of creativity, is that everyone benefits! Customers and fans get awesome small-edition t-shirts to brag about to their friends, artists get exposure (and a percentage of the profits), and the bands get t-shirts to sell at their merch tables.
I do have to be honest here, too, and tell you that this week's limited edition t-shirt (available only until friday) was designed by Belindabilly. We're so excited and honored to be included in the first steps of this awesome and soon-to-be-wildly-popular website that we just couldn't wait to do the write-up later! So, check them out today and every week! (By the way, if you're a band or artist that wants to participate, you can sign up by downloading the contract and sending it in - they're always looking for new collaborators.)

Companies or brands featured in our posts do not necessarily endorse the blog or Belindabilly, and are, unless otherwise noted, unaffiliated with the Belindabilly brand or employees.
