Karen Walker Women’s Maple Tee

‘This is one of my favourite t-shirt designs from our archive and one that I know is beloved by many of our fans. I’m delighted to have it be available again to support Breast Cancer Cure’s work. We wanted a design that was beautiful, loving and optimistic. Chrysanthemums are symbols of happiness, love, longevity and joy. They’re expressed whimsically, with stardust all around them. They were hand-illustrated, ink on paper, in our studio by my husband, Mikhail.’ - Karen Walker
