About us

allover.art makes premium reactive-dye t-shirts with full-coverage prints — designed by independent artists, sewn from 100% cotton. Most "graphic tees" are a plastic film glued to a cheap shirt. We build the opposite: clothing where the art and the fabric are one material.

Why we exist

Fashion has gotten cheaper, faster, and lonelier. A graphic tee in a fast-fashion store costs $4 to make and lasts twelve washes before the print starts cracking. The artwork is licensed from a stock library; the artist who drew it never sees a cent. The fabric is polyester pretending to be cotton. After two seasons it's in landfill, where the polyester will outlive your grandchildren.

We started allover.art because that whole loop felt broken — and because the alternative, when you actually look for it, doesn't exist at sane prices. Premium all-over-print apparel is either runway-priced gallery merch ($120 for a tee), or sublimated polyester that's a cracked plastic shell. There was no honest middle.

So we built it.

The difference starts in the fiber

Reactive dyes bond chemically with cotton. The dye molecule forms a covalent bond with the cellulose fiber — the colour becomes part of the thread itself, not a coating on top of it. The chemistry is the same as what dyes high-end denim, kimonos, and museum-grade textile art.

What you feel:

No plastic feel. The shirt stays soft, breathable, peach-touch. Sublimation prints on polyester feel like wrapped plastic. DTG prints on cotton feel like rubber. Reactive feels like nothing — just fabric, dyed.
No cracking. The print can't peel, flake or fade — there's no layer to peel, the colour is the thread. And because an 80°C wash is part of the production cycle itself, every print is strength-proven before the garment is even sewn.
No microplastic shed. One synthetic-fabric wash releases up to 700,000 plastic fibres into wastewater (Napper & Thompson, University of Plymouth, 2016). Cotton sheds none of that. If you wear our shirt and run it through the laundry once a week for a year, that's roughly 36 million microplastic fibres you didn't add to the ocean.
Full coverage. Cut-and-sewn construction puts art edge-to-edge — sleeve to hem, seam to seam. No empty space, no centred placement, no awkward white margin around a chest-print.

What we stand for

Cotton first. Always.

100% cotton, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. Never blended with polyester. Never claimed-cotton-actually-50%-poly. We don't care that polyester is cheaper — the difference shows up in two minutes of wear.

Reactive dyes only.

No sublimation. No DTG (direct-to-garment) compromises. We make the harder choice every time, because the easier choice produces clothes you don't want to put on twice.

Artist-led.

Every print on allover.art is designed by an independent artist. They earn a share of every sale — not a one-time license fee, ongoing royalty per piece sold. Our catalog grows when artists we believe in want to put their work on real cotton at a price their followers can actually afford.

Made to order.

2–5 day production. Zero unsold stock. Zero landfill-bound seasonal collections. We hold no finished inventory of any design. When you order, we start printing — and that's the only honest way to make small-batch art apparel without burning the world to do it.

Worldwide.

Tracked shipping via DHL Express and USPS International to the US, EU, UK, Australia, and beyond. We're based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan — which means our prints land at your door from a place most fashion brands never look. That's part of the story.

How we work, end to end

You order. Pick a design, size, quantity. Pay.
Production starts within 24 hours. Cotton is sourced from certified mills. Reactive dye is mixed to the artwork's exact colour profile. Cut-and-sew construction puts the print edge-to-edge.
Quality check. Every garment is inspected against the design file before it's bagged.
Shipped in 2–5 business days. DHL Express or USPS, with tracking emailed to you.
5–14 days later, depending on destination, your tee lands at your door. Trackable the whole way.

That's it. No re-order, no warehouse magic, no "shipped from a fulfilment hub" euphemism. The shirt was raw cotton on a roll the morning of your order. By the time it reaches your hands, it's a physical object that exists because you asked for it to.

For artists

If you make visual art and want to put it on real cotton — submit through our Artist Guidelines. We pay royalties on every unit sold (not a flat licensing fee), provide professional mockups, handle production and shipping end-to-end, and the only thing we ask is that the work survives a 60×90 cm print without breaking down.

You retain ownership of your design. We license the right to print it. You can leave the platform anytime, and we don't keep a copy.

Some numbers we don't hide

0% — share of finished stock we hold. Everything is made to order.
2–5 days — production time, from order to handed-to-carrier.
80°C — the wash built into every print run. It proof-tests the print and pre-shrinks the fabric before the shirt is even sewn.
700,000 — microplastic fibres released by ONE synthetic-fabric wash (Plymouth study, 2016). Number we contribute: 0.
$0 — finished-goods we discard at end of season, because we don't have seasons in that sense.
1 — number of layers in our prints. Just the thread.

The next steps

If you've never had a real reactive-dye full-print cotton tee on, you're going to feel the difference inside 30 seconds. The fabric drapes, the print doesn't itch, the colour stays. That's the only sales pitch we have, and the only one we need.
