TS Designs in the Huffington Post
It’s pretty exciting. Getting an email from the President of the company that he recently did an interview with The Huffington Post. The publication has an impressive reach to the online community – and the more people who hear about how TS Designs is impacting the sustainable apparel market, the better our chance to keep having the opportunity to do what we all love – offering people sustainable t-shirts and Eco-friendly printing options. Comments on online articles are often...
Read MoreDesign Contest Announcement
We hosted a t-shirt design contest throughout the month of February and asked Designers to focus on promoting North Carolina and cotton based themes for our 2013 Cotton of the Carolinas Limited Edition T-Shirt line.

Industrial hemp is getting a boost from Congress. And we think...

Creating your own t-shirt line is “the thing.” But it takes a serious amount of up-front capital to be able to pull it off. And so, it’s not something many people are able to actually get off the ground. And for those who are able to invest the loads of money into giving the project life, what happens when consumers aren’t as thrilled about your private line of tees as you had hoped they would be (really needed them to be)? It’s a bummer, but even more than that,...
Read MorePreferential Parking – How Do You Feel About It?
You see these signs around, here and there, highlighting preferential – or designated – parking spots for hybrid and electric vehicles. We wondered what our Facebook community thought about when they saw these saved spots, so we posted this image to our Uploads Album and asked: “Do you think hybrids and electric vehicles should get special parking spots?
