A little context
Our Story
Gay By Design is a queer-owned studio making original artwork for people who like their clothes loud and their jokes grown-up.
Who we are
Independent. Queer-led. Designs created in our studio — no stock clip art, no recycled slogans. Just original artwork for people who like their clothes loud and their jokes grown-up.
Where
We are based in North Wales and ship worldwide. The mountains are quiet; the clothes are not.
How we make it
Print on demand in our studio. We print every order ourselves — nothing is sent to a partner printer. You pick the design, then the garment. Nothing sits in a warehouse, so there is no deadstock and nothing heading to landfill. We do not hold shelves of ready-made stock; if the size is listed, we can print it.
How we ship
Allow time for us to print and pack before it ships. UK orders are usually on their way within a few days; international takes longer once it leaves us. You will get an email when the order is confirmed and another when it ships. Customs charges on international orders are the buyer’s responsibility.
What we make
Tees, tank tops, sweats, hoodies, zip-ups, and the occasional loud object. Sizes S–5XL. Unisex fit. You choose how to wear it.
The same studio
Same studio, same presses. The Welsh folklore designs — dragons, myths and legends from Ynys Môn — live over at Môn Sublime Ink.
Be proud. Wear it loud.
