HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Subtle Dust started with Tressa's love for thrifting Disney sweatshirts and tees. Her Disney loving friends would say, “Where did you get that?!” she was excited to say it was thrifted but also sad because she knew they couldn’t have the tee themselves. She was always on the hunt for some rad Disney tees for Disneyland trips, but it wasn’t until she started thrifting that she realized the Disney style she loved was 70s, 80s, and 90s. In August 2020, during the never ending pandemic days, she finally had the idea to start her own tee company. But they wouldn’t be normal cheesy Disney tees, they were going to be high quality, comfy, professionally designed, rad tees.

Here at Subtle Dust we stand by the care of our planet and all humans on it. We work diligently to provide the highest quality products with sustainability and ethical efforts at the forefront.

All of our Subtle Dust employees and designers are paid fair wages and treated like family. We support and use screen printers who are all small businesses.

As we currently work to transition to USA only suppliers and manufacturing, we’ve made sure that our current suppliers for our tees are ethically sourced with their employees being paid fair wages.

We have ongoing efforts to use eco-friendly materials for our packaging. Our mailers are sustainable and recyclable, made with 100% recycled content and has a reusable tear strip for easy returns and reusability. Our inserts are made of 100% recycled materials and our tissue paper is eco-friendly, acid free, and made with soy based ink.
