Creative Freedom for Designers

We believe the best designs come from creative freedom. At TeeStitch Apparel, we give designers the space to create what inspires them, with no strict guidelines or limitations. Here’s how we approach our relationship with designers:

  • Designers have complete freedom to create what moves them.
  • We choose designs directly from your portfolio that align with our mission and values.
  • We often purchase designs in bulk, curating a collection that reflects diverse artistic styles, regions, and spiritual backgrounds.

Join Our Creative Journey

At TeeStitch Apparel, we’re passionate about celebrating creativity from all over the world. We work with designers who have unique, ready-to-go designs that fit with our brand’s mission and values. If you’re a designer with some amazing pieces that haven’t yet found a home, we’d love to see what you’ve got!

Here’s the thing: we don’t offer design briefs or collaboration requests. Instead, we look for existing designs in your portfolio—whether it’s something you created recently or a piece that’s been sitting in your collection waiting for the right opportunity. We buy designs in bulk or individually, depending on what works best for both sides.

We also understand that pricing can vary significantly between designers, especially across different regions. To help us determine if we’re the right fit, please let us know your pricing upfront—both for individual designs and bulk purchases. It makes the process smoother for everyone, and we can focus on the designs that align with our vision and budget.

What We’re Looking For: A Quick Checklist

To make sure the submission process is smooth and efficient, we have a few important guidelines to follow. Below is a quick checklist of what we’re looking for in the designs submitted to TeeStitch Apparel. Following these guidelines ensures that your designs meet the quality and technical standards we need for our products.

  • High-Definition Designs: All designs should be submitted in high resolution (300 DPI) to ensure great print quality.
  • File Formats: Provide the original design files (AI, PSD, or Affinity) along with PNG, SVG, EPS, and PDF exports.
  • Color Mode: Use CMYK for print, with optional RGB versions for web previews.
  • Size and Dimensions: Ensure designs are scalable for different product sizes (at least 12"x16")
  • Print Compatibility: Optimize your designs for Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, and avoid using internal transparent layers.
  • Pricing: Please include your pricing for individual pieces and bulk orders in your initial submission.
  • Mockups: If possible, send mockups showing how the design will look on apparel, especially on different fabric colors.

Terms for Design Submissions & Purchases

We like to keep things simple and straightforward when it comes to purchasing designs. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Exclusivity: Once we purchase a design, TeeStitch Apparel gains full exclusive rights. This means the design has not been sold or licensed to any other entity before the purchase and will not be sold or licensed to anyone else after the purchase. We take pride in offering exclusive designs that can only be found at TeeStitch.
  • Commercial Rights: We retain the right to use the design commercially on our products and in promotions worldwide.
  • Originality: By submitting a design, you confirm it is your original creation, free from any third-party intellectual property claims.

Let’s Talk About Your Designs

Because your designs are a reflection of your creativity, we’d love for you to share a few extra details:

  • Design Names: Each design is unique, and we want to know what you’ve called them. Please include names for all your submissions.
  • Logo & Professional Name: If you have a logo or professional name, feel free to share it. We may use it if we feature and promote your work in the future.
