Return to shopOur Story
Byrdes was created for the rebels, the dreamers, and the storytellers – for anyone who believes that a simple t-shirt can speak volumes about who you are.
Our journey began not in a fashion studio, but at a bustling street art festival in Colorado, 2017. Mia, a graphic designer passionate about bold visual storytelling, and me, a printmaker with a love for wearable art, stood mesmerized by walls covered in murals, bold typography, and raw self-expression.
As we watched artists transform concrete into canvases, we asked ourselves:
“Why can’t t-shirts be just as personal, just as expressive as street art?”
With that question, Byrdes was born – a brand that celebrates freedom of expression through bold, artistic printed t-shirts. Our name nods to “Byrdes” – creatures that symbolize freedom, movement, and individuality – just like how every design lets you wear your story on your chest.
The Creative Journey
Mia and me left our day jobs and dove headfirst into screen printing workshops, fabric sourcing trips, and late-night sketch sessions. We partnered with emerging artists, graffiti writers, and graphic illustrators from around the world – turning our boldest ideas into wearable canvases.
Our goal was clear:
Create statement-making t-shirts that spark conversation
Offer designs as unique as the people wearing them
Craft each piece ethically and sustainably
In 2023, Byrdes.com launched with its first collection of artist-collaborated graphic tees – each one featuring:
Premium organic cotton, soft and breathable
Limited-edition prints, hand-drawn and exclusive
Eco-friendly inks, vibrant yet safe for skin and planet
A signature wing logo, discreetly embroidered as a nod to freedom
Our Mission
At Byrdes, our mission is simple – but bold: to empower individuality through artfully designed graphic t-shirts that let you speak without saying a word.
We believe that what you wear is more than just a choice of fabric – it’s a declaration of your passions, your beliefs, and your story. A great t-shirt can make a statement, start a conversation, and reflect exactly who you are at a glance.
That’s why every piece we create is carefully designed to honor self-expression, celebrate artistic voices, and respect the planet. We collaborate with emerging and established artists from around the world to turn bold illustrations, thought-provoking graphics, and original artwork into wearable canvases.
Our mission is grounded in three core values:
Creativity without limits: We curate unique and daring designs that empower you to stand out and express your identity unapologetically.
Community through art: By supporting a global network of independent artists, we foster a community where creativity is valued and celebrated.
Sustainability with purpose: From organic cotton fabrics to eco-friendly inks, every t-shirt is crafted with care for both people and planet – because meaningful self-expression should never come at a cost to the Earth.
We don’t believe in fast fashion or mass-produced sameness. Instead, we believe in creating graphic t-shirts with soul – shirts that move with you, grow with you, and tell your story as boldly as you live it.
