Summer is our favourite season and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to collaborate with incredible local talents to bring you the perfect seasonal tee.

Read on for how our signature Disco and Spicy Tees made it out of the group chat. Print designed by Loryn Engelsman & screenprinted by Plastisol Beach Screenprinting.

We were thrilled to collaborate with Loryn Engelsman on the design of our Found Tees this season. Her distinctive style is instantly recognizable, and her impressive body of work spans some of our favourites around the country.

"The brand and community surrounding Found Store is just jam-packed with personality & creativity, so coming up with ideas for the latest tee was the easy part, settling on just one (well, technically two in the end) was the hard bit.

At the heart of it all, the team is always looking to what's new and interesting, never settling for the norm. We're captured this spirit of trying something new, creative, fun, risky, spicy, disco or whatever it is you're into with this tee! The final artwork is simple and solid, adding a distinct garnish of disco or spice to your outfit this spring/summer season!" — Loryn

We were lucky enough to pay a visit to the lovely Sally & Christian as they commenced the screenprinting for our Found x Loryn Tees. They were incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, giving us everything we needed to be able to come back and showcase the love that goes into each and every tee.

Graphic tees seem to hold a place in our wardrobes (and hearts!) longer than any other garment, and witnessing this traditional, artisan process, just over the hill in Mount Maunganui played testament to that sentimental value.
