The late 80’s, early 90’s music charts were dominated by British band Soul II Soul. Whilst music is what we automatically associate with the chart toppers, T-shirts have in fact been an integral part of the brand since their clothing release back in 1990, with a piece of artwork they had designed in 1979! The … Read more
With 50% of the office having read, or attempted to read, the hotly anticipated ‘50 shades of Grey’, we can confirm our Indigo seduction rating was LOW.
Badly written, difficult to finish and to be honest, I have read dirtier scandal in Deidre’s photo casebook. Whilst it isn’t EL James’s bestselling book that has us 50 shades crazy this Autumn, there is another that has caught our eye. 50 shades of AWDis, including 5 Grey shades for all you Christian Grey fans out there!
Even though it is not featured on our core custom clothing catalogue, Indigo has a wholesale account with American Apparel in London and can print on a majority of their products which are flown direct from Los Angeles, California to our DTG or screen printing factories here in the UK.

At Indigo, we often get asked which t-shirt we recommend. As there are so many t-shirts to choose from it really depends on what a client’s budget is and what the t-shirt is for (promotional giveaway, staff uniform, etc). However, if we really had to pick our favorite we would have to say the Fruit … Read more
We’re just days away from June, just days, and the second J-beginning month of the year means one thing to me: it’s officially summer. To jump straight into summer without pausing to see if the sun will shine, let’s think about swimwear. This summer I will be tanning my mozzerella skin in the tropics of Manchester and Dublin, with a possible scorching weekend visit to a friend in Luxembourg with it’s many famous beaches, that’s right isn’t is? The pretty coastal country? So what better way to get in the mood than by drooling over lucious bikinis and all-in-one swimming costumes that I can neither use nor afford? Maybe eating some ice-cream? On the list for afterwards. One of my favourite summer smells is the lycra, sea-salty scent of the bikini, drip drying in the bath and you can tell that these summer-licious swimwear pieces from Anthropologie will not only look a million euros, but they will smell oh. so. summery.

One of the most popular items of university stash are hoodies and we have a great Cambridge hoodie designed by Roland, our Swedish graphic designer. At this time of year we are busy printing hoodies for students and leavers but if you are graduating this summer don’t … Read more
If you think about it the tie is an odd piece of garment. As far as clothes go it is both physically functionless and a hassle to eat soup with. Not to mention a source of many an embarrassing memories for an inept 16 year old Faisal for whom the intricacies of a ‘Double Windsor’ knot remained elusive for years. Now, I’ll readily admit that this is a straw man argument and that we don’t wear it because of its physical function but rather as an indicator of formal wear, occasion or ‘professionalism’. It has become so accepted in the Western world (and increasingly globally) that the tie is a symbol unto itself.
Dan Cederholm lives in Salem, Massachusetts. He runs a boutique creative agency and I have always been an admirer of his excellent web-design books. Some of the features on the Indigo site are even a direct result of his writing. Dan also produces some screen printed t-shirts which you can order from his SimpleBits shop.
Popular in the Netherlands for over 700 years. Can easily be hosed off if working in the garden, and allowed to air dry. When syncopated with foot taps, they form a special kind of dancing.
The clog has a great deal of versatility as a form of footwear, but this summer it has become more than a tourist’s souvenir. No longer fashion roadkill, the clog will have you hop, skipping and toe tapping your way onto the catwalk.
