No one wants a bag by Lucy Vuitton, Fundi or Gooshi - same goes for bootleg BELLA+CANVAS. These faux-premium tees can't compare to the fit, feel and overall quality of an authentic BELLA+CANVAS premium tee.

THE FAUX-11

Faux premium tees are a step up from C.O.E. - but they're miles away from the real thing. You might not be able to spot the differences online, but your customers will feel these differences instantly.

True premium tees get worn again and again, therefore seen again and again making it a better choice for your customers and the environment.

THE TOP LINE

Let's talk numbers - the ones that matter. How does a tee that lands directly in the PJ drawer benefit your business, compared to one that people actually want to wear on a regular basis?

Darnell gets a premium tee to support his gym. Thanks to the soft feel, perfect fit and just-right sleeves, it quickly becomes a staple in his rotation.

In 2023, he wears it out in public 18 times, where it's seen by 20 people every time. His true premium tee cost $13.50, but since it's made 360 impressions, the cost per impression on his tee is only $0.04.

360 impressions divided by $13.50 = $0.04 cost per impression

This means your business can get over 7x the number of impressions with a premium tee, increasing brand awareness exponentially.
