EST. 2012 THIS IS OUR STORY!
Where do I begin? What inspired me to start the CRAYTEES clothing brand? At the top of the 2010's I worked closely with another entrepreneur as HER Graphic Designer for her brand. While working with her she encouraged me to start my own clothing line. I've been a Graphic Designer since 2007 so my entrepreneurial spirit was already there! CRAYTEES started more as a passion project. "It would be dope if people wore my ART on their backs". I wanted to create "CRAY" TEES that you wouldn't find at your local stores. (exclusive) Fast Forward to June 9th 2012 the birth of CRAYTEES. happened! I failed
a lot in the beginnings but every failure was a learning opportunity. We saw notable success in 2015 we had PEAKED! A lot of people on social media had their eyes on my little passion project. It felt good to see a lot of people wearing something I created. Sadly that high died out when I left CRAYTEES behind in 2016. My personal life had came down on me HARD. I had lost my passion to create art. I was allowing my depression to take over. Everything around me was negative. Very dark times. But there was a dim light at the end of that dark tunnel. 2020 happened! Now we all know 2020 was a SH*T year for most myself included but it was then when I found CRAYTEES again! Being in quarantine allowed me to rediscover something I was passionate about my "ART" I started picking up more graphic jobs and getting back into designing daily. That boosted my entrepreneurial spirit and got my creative juices flowing again. I wanted that old thing back! I decided to pursue my passion project again. CRAYTEES relaunch in FEB 2021 just one year shy from our 10 year anniversary means so much more now to me! I haven't been more focused on taking CRAYTEES to new levels. Thanks to our loyal fans your warm welcome backs have meant THE WORLD to me! Thanks for supporting my ART I am humbly grateful for the positive vibes. Let's see what happens next cause' we're here to stay! -CRAY
