about
MINTED SUPPLY simultaneously subverts and participates in the practices of hype culture through the creation of limited production garments and artwork.
Each piece is treated as a print within a series. All pieces are hand-printed or hand-crafted, then tagged and individually numbered on our signature canvas patch.
quality and sustainability matter
-
we do not sacrifice quality. our artwork is designed to be loved and worn.
in an effort to be even more sustainable and produce truly unique pieces, we actively seek blanks from reserves of deadstock colors and mis-dyed shirts.
the majority of our blanks come from the Comfort Colors brand, which originally began producing and dyeing t-shirts in Massachusetts and thus pays homage to our home state. Comfort Colors is also known for their commitment to sustainability.
our bags are produced from decommissioned distribution bags from the U.S. Mint.
-
all of our screen-printed garments are printed by hand in-house.
no two of our shirts are exactly alike, and no print is perfect. that’s intentional.
the canvas label stitched onto each garment is stamped with a unique number, which represents the style code and the piece’s number in the production line.
-
when production requires a special techniques or treatments that cannot be completed in house, we outsource to local small businesses and artists.
these local businesses are mentioned in the product description.
-
for better or for worse, perfection is impossible. there is no way for any company to completely eradicate their footprint.
we believe that our purpose justifies our existence, but we also recognize that everything we do has a carbon footprint and an effect on people.
whenever possible, we seek to improve sourcing and production methods to make the world a better place.
