Word through the grapevine should never be underestimated. And, nothing could be truer for Finroo’s limited edition tees. We started the month off right when Thrillist, featured Finroo during Thrillist Week as one of their TOP TEN products of the year. Thrillist used fourteen of our organic bamboo tees as a display while we spent the week schmoozing at their loft with fellow tee-junkies.
I guess word got out that there was a new fish in the water because following Thrillist Week, Finroo was featured inbuy-tees.net:
Have A Whale Of A Time At Finroo
June 10, 2009
Before you start on me - yes it’s another crowd sourcing t-shirt contest site - this time the web design is absolutely top notch, they offer truly limited edition tees, there’s at least one very very highly talented artist on their books and Finroo’s attention to detail is unparalleled. All of their t-shirts are made from softer than soft bamboo which is a delight to wear as well as great for the environment - machine washable, all natural and a hypo-allergenic, absorbent, and fast drying. The tees are sold at an average market price of $34.95, I was recently approached for a review by an independent label that also sold bamboo tees and couldn’t afford to offer them less than $49 and so Finroo’s figures seem impressive. What’s more they donate $1 from every t-shirt sold to charity so you can literally feel the good karma effervescing from this company.
