WE PUT THE
PUN IN
PURR-FECTION.

Catface Tees started in 2020. A studio apartment, three cats, a screen-printing kit bought in lockdown optimism — and an unhealthy obsession with cat puns. Five years later, we've shipped to 34 countries. The cats are still ignoring us.

THE STORY SO
FAR.

It started in 2020. A tiny studio apartment. Three cats. A screen-printing kit I bought in a burst of lockdown optimism, which then sat in the corner gathering dust. And an unhealthy obsession with cat puns.
That's how Catface Tees was born. Like many strange little projects of that era, it was very much a child of COVID: too much time, too many sketchbooks, and a brain wandering into increasingly ridiculous ideas. One of those ideas turned into a comic about astronaut cats drifting through space.
People started liking the drawings. Then they started asking if the drawings were on T-shirts. So I did the obvious thing — I put the astronaut cats on T-shirts. And that's pretty much how Catface Tees escaped the sketchbook and ended up in the real world.
Drop 01 was 30 shirts printed in that same kitchen. They sold out in 48 hours. Drop 02 was 100. Drop 03 was 400. By Drop 04 we'd moved to a proper studio and bought a second-hand carousel press from a guy in Neukölln who kept calling it "my baby." The kit in the corner is still gathering dust.
