Graniph

My last post was about my love for T-shirts. (I’m not the only one who has a T-shirt obsession; there’s a print journal about it.) I wrote about blank T-shirts, which are good for making your own band T-shirts and screenprinting on them. But what if you’re like me and have zero ounce of creativity but still want to have T-shirts that look cool? Enter Graniph.



Graniph is a Japanese T-shirt website whose aim is to have cutting-edge designs on the “timeless medium” of the T-shirt by making them in limited numbers. They also sell other items of clothing apart from T-shirts like parkas and dresses, but when one mentions Graniph, T-shirts are the first thing that comes to mind.



You can buy T-shirts from their online store for ¥2 500 each (about AUD25) and if you spend ¥10 000 or more they’ll send it for free to your address, anywhere in the world! Otherwise shipping is ¥1 000. They also have a physical store in Westfield Sydney, but the T-shirts are much more expensive there; one T-shirt is AUD45 and two T-shirts cost AUD80. It may seem expensive, but the T-shirts are well-made and the likelihood of running into someone wearing the same T-shirt as you is very low as they’re limited-edition.

You can find Graniph’s only Australian physical store at:

Shop 1001D, Level 1 (Urban Level)
Westfield Sydney
188 Pitt St
Sydney
New South Wales 2000
Australia

Happy T-shirt hunting!
