What the tee itself or Amy branching out?

If you are talking about the tees, I can do without.

This is a dud for me. How many t-shirts do people want to buy?

I think the tees are cute. I won't buy them but they're cute. I was amused when in the video she thanked viewers for being the best friends and the best tangerines.

Yes, the Tees. I think the world is saturated enough with "fashion tees", especially with Silhouettes, Crickets and Etsy custom shirts.
Branching out is great, especially where the SB industry is at this time, but I would not go in the Tee direction. (Kristina from 2Peas already tried that, too, but her name was tarnished, so maybe that killed her Tee business). If I were to branch out into fashion, I'd be creating my own clothing designs, not graphics for Tees.

No interest in any kind of subscription that involves SC.

I think the tees are cute. Tees with sayings are pretty popular right now. I own several myself.

This is a dud for me. How many t-shirts do people want to buy? One could argue the same for scrapbooking paper.

The shirts are not bad looking, but a subscription?! uh, NO. I don't need a new tshirt or two *every month* !
The Earth is already drowning in discarded t-shirts made from thirsty input-heavy cotton, dyed with poisonous chemicals. The average tee is discarded (donated or thrown in the trash) after an average of 25 wearings. The environmental damage that our hunger for newer, better, cuter clothes has caused is hidden from most of us, but it's devastating. And the economic damage to the countries where we ship our bales of extra clothes. ugh.
Not to mention the 591 pages of discussion here of why I won't go near anything to do with Inked brands/SC.

I think they're cute, and are a natural addition to her brand. I'm not in her demographic, but I can see younger women buying these.

I could be mistaken, but didn't Amy Tan get her start designing t-shirts? I seem to remember she had a line of t-shirts way back in the day, before she moved into the scrapbook world.

I didn't watch the video, but from the above comments I assume this is a subscription? I like printed tees but not enough to get a subscription. What I see though looks cute.

I can't see someone having 500 tees that the only difference may be the color, or wording. The styles will be the same,making everything too similar (Unlike SB paper). And, a subscription to get a couple a month? No, thanks. I can buy something almost exactly the same on Etsy, or make it myself, whenever I feel the need, not once a month.

I tried watching the video. But got distracted when she said, "...casual tees..." and I thought, "Yes I think you will be another one of SC's casualties."
But hey, I might be wrong. Personally I think it's a really odd path to go down but good for her for trying.

Nope, nope, nope. I already hate the process of buying clothes...if I pick out 10 things, 9 look terrible on me and the 10th is take it or leave it. I want to buy new clothes (what I have that fits and I enjoy wearing can fit in a single load of laundry) and am slowly working on it, but I won't buy blindly and I want to buy things that are going to be decent quality and that I know look good on me...not something that's cute online but will just collect dust in my closet when I get it. I suspect these t-shirts are going to be made with thin material that clings to everything you don't want to accentuate. I don't equate SC with quality and therefore would be prepared to receive the most ill fitting piece of clothing on the planet.

They look super soft but it's not something I am interested in at all. I don't get the subscription aspect of it and I think they are a little pricy for just a t-shirt. Pass.

Definite no to a T-shirt subscription and those are not the kind of tees I like to buy. For causal tees I mostly go for Icebreaker merino tees - natural fibre, cool or warm depending on the season and wonderful for travel (because you can wear them several times before they need a wash). I have some that are probably 10 years old and still look good.

Not interested.
I don't think she's trying to appeal to her scrapbook audience with this though. She's working the angles of the 'influencer' she is/she is hoping to become. This is for her Instagram followers who don't scrapbook but want the Amy Tan California girl lifestyle.

I feel as if I've seen plenty of "Beach Please" tanks and tees over the past 3 years. Enough is enough. Now if she were to make a big ass beach towel in the shape and design of a tangerine with a tote to carry it in that says beach please on it, I might be inclined to purchase because it seems creative and cute. A tshirt has been done too many times.

Shirts like that are a dime a dozen. I didn't see anything new or exciting shown in that video at all. From reading the comments here it sounds like it's a t shirt subscription? I didn't catch that in the video, that seems odd.

The phrase Beach please is a play on Bitch please, so no. Looks like something someone can cut out on a cameo and iron it on.

I am so tired of the glut of t-shirts with puns/sayings on them that I see all over social media. Just another thing for people to put on Instagram.
I feel like I have a very old, crotchety soul. "Damn kids with their t-shirts and their Instagrams!"

I'm sure these will make an appearance on a well known scrapper's daily look at my outfit as I commute to work instastory. Weird.
