Who Put The BUY In Albino?



Albino's have always been a rarity and these colorable D.I.Y. t-shirts are no exception.




Behind the scenes at ALBINO lies a husband and wife team. They both work in design, textiles, fashion and software development. This experience has enabled them to envision and develop a device that makes colouring-in T-shirts easier.

The result has been their "patent pending" backing, which they have applied to a colour-in-able T-shirt that children can complete with considerably more success and ease than in the past. Straight out of the box, with no preparation and with little or no help from an adult, the ALBINO product removes many technical obstacles that would usually prevent a child [or adult] from being creative within this medium.

The shirts are a little pricey, most sell for around 29 Euros each yet the design and theme of each item is unique and definitely boutique oriented.

They also offer a basic color palette of markers, specifically designed for this application which you can also purchase at their site...

"...most sell for around 29 Euros..." entirely true but it includes 19% VAT.

For orders in the US, Canada, Australia and anywhere outside the European Union most shirts sell for less than 25 Euros: no VAT!!

Thanks!

Glad you approved of the post, Aris and your team's concept is much appreciated!

I hope someday you will develop different colored t-shirts, not only white, with the same technology...
