We get it. Things suck right now. That’s why we created Disdain Designs. More than a gift and tee company, our designs are wearable art that can curb your growing desire to scream into the void. They’re controversial. They’re funny. And not a dime goes to a billionaire. Available for your next family gathering or congressional hearing.
You’re never going to believe this…
A half-Black writer and a Jewish printer walked into a Mexican bar—it sounds like punch line of a joke. But it’s how Disdain Designs started. We holed up, ate, drank, laughed and hatched this adventure. (It was margaritas, if you were wondering)
We both had the itch. One a mid-career mom who needed something to be passionate about again. The other, a 70-something year old hippie and serial entrepreneur who’s worked with Presidents, met rockstars and supplied fashion big wigs.
We needed to have some fucking fun in these perilous times. And give the middle finger to the establishment while we are at it.
It’s not a complicated plot for world domination…but hey if that happens we plan to erase all billionaires, pay livable wages, and take a company trip somewhere where we can have margaritas, and play our bongos on the beach.
Small Batch Creative
We had a vision to start a movement through art and anger. That means keeping our batches small and our craft front and center. Our pieces are concepted, designed and screenprinted by real people.
Support Progressive Causes
Despite our frustration with the state of things, the only way to make progress is to continue to resist. So we support causes you love, whenever we can.
Keep Your Money Local
We are just a small team of creatives and a printer who’s been around the block. It’s a simple set up that means your money goes to a real person. Not a billionaire.
Got an idea? Lucky us.
Think you’ve got a brilliant concept? Toss it our way. We’re always accepting free labor—I mean, submissions.
How this works:
You give us your idea
If we like it, we might make it
You get… absolutely nothing. No royalties. No credit. Just the warm, empty satisfaction of knowing you contributed.
Oh, and if we actually produce it, we’ll throw you a free shirt in your size. Consider it a trophy for your unpaid genius.
