Not to get all revival on you, but let’s give it up for the Ten Commandments. Coveting your neighbor’s house or spouse — never a good idea. Better to concentrate on the one you’ve got.
But when it comes to your neighbor’s husband’s T-shirt collection from his trip around the world, feel free to lust away.
Materialust, that is.
The recently launched collection of travel tees does all the heavy lifting for you — no vacation days or airplane tickets necessary. Each season, Materialust’s design team scours far-flung locales like Tokyo and Cuba for authentic vintage images (pulled from everything from matchbooks to street art). The graphics are then transferred onto custom-cut Pima cotton tees, giving each shirt a super-soft found-it-in-a-Parisian-vintage-shop feel.
Summer stock is dwindling, but the fall itinerary (landing this month) includes stops in Madrid, Bombay, Moscow, and London. So you may want to brush up on current events, hotels, and restaurants in those spots. Not that we would encourage you to create stories around your new tee.
After all, thou shall not lie.
