ABOUT HOUSE OF TEY

I

COULDN’T FIND IT, SO I MADE IT.

​

Let’s be honest.

Part of the reason House of Tey exists is because I wanted to make some money butttt if I’m going to ask you to spend your hard-earned money with me, I want to give you something worth having in return.

Something that makes you laugh.

Something that makes you feel good.

Something that makes you feel seen.

Or maybe something that gives you a little reminder you didn’t know you needed.

That’s where House of Tey comes in.

MORE THAN A SHIRT.

​

I’ve always loved creating. Drawing, designing, coming up with ideas, turning something in my head into something I can actually see and hold in my hands — that’s always been a part of me. During a difficult time in my life, creating became more than something I enjoyed. It became an outlet. Drawing gave me somewhere to put my thoughts when I didn’t know what else to do with them. And sometimes, the smallest things made a difference.

Seeing a sign that said “Call 988.”

Seeing a simple reminder that there is hope.

Seeing a message at the right moment that made me stop and think, “Okay… maybe I can keep going.” Those little reminders mattered to me. And I started thinking: What if something you’re wearing could be that reminder for somebody else? Not every message has to be deep.

Sometimes you just need something funny.

Sometimes you need something bold.

Sometimes you need something that makes you feel confident.

And sometimes you need a sweatshirt that quietly tells you:

​

Keep going.

​

THEN THERE WAS THE CLOTHING PROBLEM...I also got tired of looking for graphic tees and sweatshirts that I actually wanted to wear. And when I did find something I liked? It was either sold out in my size, didn’t fit the way I wanted, or just wasn’t giving what I wanted it to give. So eventually I said: Fine. I’ll make my own. And that’s exactly what I did... House of Tey is my little corner of the fashion world where I get to create the things I wish I could find.

Graphic tees.

Sweatshirts.

Statement pieces.

Funny pieces.

Pieces with a little attitude.

Pieces that make you stop and look twice.

And pieces that might mean something a little deeper to the person wearing them.

​

WHY “HOUSE OF TEY”?

Because this isn’t just about clothes. It’s about my creativity, my ideas, my sense of humor, my experiences, and the things I believe are worth putting into the world.

Think of House of Tey as a house where all of those things get to live.

And there’s room for you here, too.

WEAR SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE YOU. I don’t believe everything you wear has to have some huge meaning behind it. Sometimes you just like the design. Sometimes it matches your personality.

Sometimes you saw it and thought, “Yep. That’s me.”

And sometimes a simple message can reach you at exactly the right time. That’s what I hope House of Tey can do.

Make you smile.

Make you laugh.

Make you feel confident.

Make you feel represented.

Make you feel seen.

And maybe, every once in a while, remind you to keep going.

Because you never know what somebody is going through behind the clothes they’re wearing. So if something I create can make somebody’s day just a little better?

​

That’s enough for me.

Welcome to the House.

​

-With Love, Tey
