T-Shirts for Book Lovers
Celebrate your literary icons with this collection of organic cotton tees from Branded + Moniker. Four icons, legends and stars united by one first name on a t-shirt in unexpected combinations.
Branded + Moniker name t-shirts weren't originally intended to be made for people who love literature, they're just four great people (or things) who share a first name, in unique combinations. But this collection of tees just happens to feature designs that include a celebration of literary icons that make great gifts for the book lover in your life.
The Elizabeth Tee
We have a legendary Hollywood actor, a British model and actor, a 19th century novelist, and the longest reigning British monarch.
Elizabeth Taylor was both the first actress to be paid $1m (for Cleopatra) and the voice behind Maggie Simpson’s first word, “Daddy”.
Elizabeth Hurley is godmother to Hugh Grant’s daughter, Tabitha, and Patsy Kensit’s son, Lennon.
Elizabeth Gaskell, our literary representation here, grew up in Knutsford – where we’re from! – and also spent two years at school in William Shakespeare’s hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon.
Queen Elizabeth II was the only person in Britian legally allowed to drive without a driver’s licence.
The Arthur Tee
Here we have an esteemed American playwright, an iconic tennis player, a celebrated British author, and a folkloric king.
Arthur Miller’s first play The Man Who Had All The Luck ironically closed down after just four shows but he bounced back by winning a Tony award with his follow-up, All My Sons.
If at first you don't succeed...Arthur Ashe remains the only black male player to win the US Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle got sick of writing Sherlock Holmes and put his prices up extortionately to deter publishers. Instead he became one of the highest paid authors of his time.
King Arthur was friends with an invisible wizard, lived in a mythical palace, and is believed – we’re not sure by who – to be due for a return.
