7 Caribbean design Tees and Sweatshirts
There was a time when you mainly bought printed Caribbean design T-shirts as a gift for friends and family living overseas to remind them of home or your vacation to the islands. Flying back to the States, Canada or London, you would pick up a Caribbean design tee as a last minute gift from an airport shop along with a key ring, bottle open, fridge magnet and one of those plastic beach scene with sand, palm tree and floating fish – made in China.
These days, Caribbean apparel is generally of a better quality and better designs that represent our unique Caribbean culture, sayings and lifestyle. There is, too, a fast growing listing of brands, boutiques and merchandise available throughout the Caribbean and the Diaspora, all vying for eyes, clicks and to fill our baskets and check out. The ACU|BIEN Shopping Guide offers 7 Caribbean design tees and sweatshirts available to purchase online. So, no excuse. We can be gifting Caribbean lifestyle and Caribbean design products all year round.
