Permalink Sugar Apple Design by Shanda
Est. 2004
Founded by designer & artist Shanda Chiumento. Sugar Apple Design focuses on translating the fun and nature of the Caribbean onto wearable art...from
tees & tanks to plush bathrobes & beach towels.
I love the Caribbean. Two out of our last three vacations we've visited St. Thomas USVI where Sugar Apple Design is located. The items that Shanda has are so reflective of the islands and the nature surrounding it, and when I received my tee in the mail it did not disappoint.
I received the Palm Tree tee as pictured here.
The shirt itself is cut slightly narrow especially in the shoulders. If you're a tiny one like me, you probably won't notice, but if you prefer your tees not quite as fitted order a size up. The construction of this tee is quality. The seams are sewn straight (you know how sometimes on tees with the type of knit they are they can tend to curl), and there were no loose threads and the serging is professional. (That's important to me, since I have to roll all my sleeves up due to the very short length of my arms lol!). The fabric is a nice weight, not too heavy to wear on a summer evening, but cozy for northern winters too.
It feels comfy when you wear it. This shirt is really perfect for everything: workouts or casual wear. What's extra nice about it is this is not something you'll find at your local chain store so you will be very unique when sporting it!
So if you are looking for something unique for yourself or for a gift check out Sugar Apple Design for products reflected from and made in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
I was provided a complimentary tee from Sugar Apple Design for the purpose of this review.
