House of Style

Casa di Culture

Your boyfriend went to (insert awesome destination here) and all you got was a lousy T-shirt.

So all he got as thanks was a Dear John letter.

For travel souvenirs with a little more style, check out Casa di Culture. The site, started by three sisters, offers T-shirts (with totes and scarves to come) featuring designs inspired by their travels. The sisters (one is based in D.C.) launched the boutique when they couldn’t find any cool fashions to represent their finds in places like Zimbabwe, Turkey, and Germany.

The tops are printed on ultra-soft cotton using ecofriendly, water-based ink. The site also stocks locally made natural body products, including masala deodorant and clay soaps.

Networking and message boards for travel advice and recommendations are in the works as well.

Their casa is your casa.
