Let's talk tariffs. We haven't done that yet - and the news is good. You may or may not know that I'm based in the UK, so that's where I do all of the designing and where I put new stuff on the website, but unless you live here too it's not where your order gets shipped from. Everything is made to order, and I use a production partner with bases all around the world, so if you're in the US and you place an order it'll be shipped to you from one of their US facilities. That means it's not an import, so it's not subject those scary tariffs Trump's been imposing. Great news, isn't it? So to our friends in the USA, please don't worry - order what you like when you like and it won't cost you more than it should. It'll cost you less actually if it's your first time ordering from my store, because you get to take advantage of the 10% off first orders discount. Did your day just get better? I hope so.
This week's picture is another addition to the Pride collection - it's a star in the style of stained glass windows and mosaic. I hope you like it. I've always loved the aesthetic of stained glass windows and I'll keep them in mind for future designs, I think it works really well on t-shirts. There's still another Pride design to come, a simple rainbow in a 70s retro style, because sometimes simple is enough. After that it's back to the tattoo collection for another new design or two and then some nature themed stuff I've been working on. I'm really looking forward to bringing you a whole new collection in the not too distant future.
That's it for now but as ever do let me know if you have something in mind you'd like to see in my store, feel free to get in touch via the help button or by email at caroline@carissimastudio.com and until next time I wish you all the best.
