Clicks to Bricks
Threadless.com was always a great idea. It’s an on-going tee shirt design competition. Anyone can submit their design and if it gets a high enough score and is chosen by the Threadless crew it is printed and sold from the site.Now, Threadless has a retail store in Chicago. Yes, it went from clicks to bricks!
Why a retail site now? Says the site…
“ A zillion reasons. Most of them revolve around ideas we come up with for giving back to the Threadless community and not having the staff, resources, venue or time to make happen. Ideas like teaching design classes, hosting galleries with Threadless artist's work, having real-world group critiques and other various events.”
Love it! The online mode didn’t give the customers enough of an “experience.” So, now there’s a place for designers to feel at home. Nice.
