**This contest is now closed. Thank you very much for all your entries.**
**Congratulations to Charlotte!**
Ahpeele‘s simply gorgeous silkscreen prints on T-shirts are available in all shapes and sizes, hoodies and tunics. With so many styles to choose from, it’s so hard to choose just one!
Ahpeele is powered by the husband and wife team of Adam and Hiromi. They met in the US, lived in Tokyo for two years and now back to Adam’s hometown in Raleigh, NC where they built their own company designing and printing clothes, art and furniture.
Having lived in Japan for 10 years, I love Japanese prints and get nostalgic with it!
I had a short chat (via email of course) with the Ahpeele team and here’s what they have to say:
1. When did you start your craft/business?
Technically we started in 2004 when we moved to North Carolina from Tokyo but we feel it started when we first met in Boston 2001. We didnt really do anything that made any money until 2004.
2. Where do you find the inspiration for your designs?
We’re really into nature as our obvious inspiration, but we’re more subtly inspired by food, Tokyo cafe culture, and reggae. Usually Hiromi thinks of concepts/color ideas and Adam draws for hours on end and usually meet in the middle.
3. How do you plan to expand your business in the future?
We’re always doing something new so it’s constant expansion. More specifically we dream of opening a cafe, making more art, and finally putting the finishing touches on our retail store. Also working together with other craft people would be awesome.
Thank you Adam and Hiromi for the wonderful interview and giveaway!
