Craig Dodge Taiwan

Everyone loves t-shirts.

When you are walking through the shopping mall, or one of the many night markets around Taiwan, you see hundreds, even thousands of different styles. There is a design for every mood and personality. There's also a t-shirt for every budget. I just came across online a Louis Vuitton t-shirt (Graffiti Sprouse) for US$875!! (Can you believe it?)

One of my best friends, Tuan Huynh,  designs t-shirts and I'm writing to share a little about his business with you. The name of his company is Pop Cotton. He launched his business online last year, displays his shirts at some local fairs and events and recently got some of his designs in local Bay Area stores.  Tuan is a very creative, down-to-earth person and his designs reflect these qualities. Here is an excerpt from his web site:

Pop Cotton...

We are a California/Bay Area brand producing high-quality graphic t-shirts. Our product is basically a light, soft, and comfortable tee screened with original artwork that is lighthearted yet thoughtful with strong visual appeal. We use sweatshop-free American-made quality t-shirts with only eco-friendly water-based screen printing. You'll look good and your body and conscience will feel good wearing Pop Cotton tees!

Last year, I bought a couple Pop Cotton shirts; Hanging Out and Summer Breeze. When I go home this October, I think I will buy Knowledge and Peace Shirt. Besides having really cool designs, the material of the t-shirt is very comfortable.

I encourage you to visit Pop Cotton's web site and check out some of Tuan's designs. If you are in the US, his shipping costs are very reasonable. For my Taiwan friends, just let me know if you are interested in buying any of the shirts and I can pick them up on one of my trips home.
