New Hawaiian T-Shirts: Oahu Destee-Nations

Dispatch — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:17:19 +0000

Time flies. It’s already been over a month since our scouts were on Oahu looking for the top landmark establishments on the island. Until recently, our Hawaiian t-shirt collection has been predominantly from Kona on the Big Island. But our scouts finally had time to do a little island hopping, and we’re slowly rolling out the new designs.

Our latest additions include: Honolulu Scuba Co., Matsumoto Shave Ice, Like Like Drive Inn.

And coming soon to a t-shirt near you:

Kualoa Ranch
Rainbow Drive-In
Waiola Shave Ice
Lulu’s Waikiki Surf Club

Destee-Nation is in the New York Times Magazine!

Dispatch — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:19:01 +0000

When columnist and author, Rob Walker contacted our founder a couple months ago for a piece he wanted to do, we quickly did our research and discovered a kindred spirit. Rob’s new book, Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are, strikes a deep chord and articulates so many of the original notions we embraced when we started this little t-shirt company. We feel honored to be the recipients of his attention and powerful words.

Go read Rob Walker’s great piece about Destee-Nation in his New York Times Magazine column Consumed! You can also visit his blog Murketing.com to read an archive of Consumed and so much more.

Just in time for the Half-Yearly Sale!

Dispatch — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:10:37 +0000

We’re finally ready to announce our big news: Destee-Nation t-shirts are now on sale at Nordstrom! After a few months of meetings, planning and some grueling production decisions, we shipped our first order to Seattle-area and Southern California Nordstrom stores earlier this week. Next up on the agenda: Northern California and Hawaii, with Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Florida all on the docket later this year.

In spite of its nation-wide presence and household name, at heart Nordstrom is a family-run and privately operated company, and we have felt that energy resonating from everyone who has been integral in this process. Everyone we’ve worked with has been super helpful and accommodating, and if you’ve ever shopped at Nordstrom, you’ll know the sales team members are knowledgeable about their products and take great care to assist their customers.

We feel confident our relationship with them will be lasting and rewarding for all of our Destee-Nation member businesses, whether their t-shirts are sold in Nordstrom or just benefit from the added buzz to our t-shirt shop.

Big Deals are Brewing

Dispatch — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:39:56 +0000

We’ve been on a bit of a blog hiatus these last few months, but it in no way reflects how busy we’ve been. New shirts are rolling off the presses every day, and our stores (Seattle, Kona and online) had a great holiday season. As we enter into the new year, there are lots of big deals on the horizon, including possibly distributing to major, national retailers. Stay tuned!

On Sale Today — Bad Juju Lounge T-Shirts

Here’s what we have to say about this cool lounge located in Seattle’s infamous Neumos:

Once a standalone bar, the Bad Juju Lounge has moved into Neumo’s, one of Seattle’s premier music venues, and the marriage is a happy one. Separated from the live sounds of the club, this full bar offers a comfortable spot to chill out before, during and after the show. Nightly DJs serve up music in varying degrees & flavors of rock, and a plethora of plush sofas make weary show-watching feet happy. Keeping with the original location, the surroundings are embellished with New Orleans voodoo art and complemented by local artisans’ glasswork and iron sculptures.

Top Pot Doughnuts joins Destee-Nation

Dispatch — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 18:58:10 +0000

Countless doughnut runs and a few extra pounds later, we recently decided Top Pot Doughnuts needed to be a Destee-Nation. They’re a little bigger than most of our members—they’ve got a few shops and they distribute doughnuts to several places around town, but they’re still locally-owned and loved. Nothing wrong with success…

We’re also thrilled with their lovely treatment of our logo on the Top Pot website. Very cool site design too.
