Turn heads by creating cutting edge, trippy designs

Brighten up your store this season by creating products in line with trending ‘trippy’ vibes. Sublimated tie-dye patterns are getting high volumes of sales, so be sure to try it out.

This month we’re all for encouraging creators to create unconventional stand-out designs. Creators like Joshua&StarCandy KenMontana & Ryan and J Clark the jumper are ahead of the game, while pushing boundaries with unique and bold merch collections. Jump on the trippy texture movement too and check out our Pinterest board for further inspo. Check out our collection of free all over print patterns below.

Create a co-ord listing

Discover ‘co-ords’–a longstanding, consistent trend that is still persisting this season. Short for the word ‘coordinates’, it means matching apparel products head to toe. This could be designing a set of matching loungewear such as joggers and sweatshirt or leggings and a t-shirt.

Combining pairs of products with co-ordinating designs by adding products to existing listings will encourage buyers to purchase several pieces in one go, increasing profits and the volume of products added to shopping carts.
