Why Tees by Tanya Exists (And the Story Behind the Shirts)

Tees by Tanya didn’t start as a business idea.
It started as a message.

A message of hope.
A reminder of strength.
And a quiet way of saying, “You’re not alone.”

This is more than an apparel brand, it’s a reflection of real life, real growth, and real stories.

More Than Just a Shirt

There are a lot of graphic tees out there.
But Tees by Tanya was never about chasing trends.

Every shirt is created with intention, because words matter. Especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.

Sometimes, a simple phrase can be:

• The encouragement someone needed that day
• A reminder of how far they’ve come
• A message that helps someone feel seen and understood

That belief is at the core of every design we create.

The Story Behind Tees by Tanya

Tees by Tanya was built from lived experience, the kind that shapes who you become.

This brand was born from a journey marked by:

• Recovery and resilience
• Faith and growth
• Learning how to keep going, even on hard days

The messages you see on our shirts reflect that journey. They’re honest, hopeful, and rooted in the belief that healing and progress are possible, one step at a time.

These aren’t loud statements.
They’re gentle reminders you can carry with you.

How Our Made-to-Order Shirts Are Created

Every item from Tees by Tanya is made to order.

That means your shirt isn’t sitting on a shelf or printed in bulk. Each design is printed fresh, just for you, after your order is placed.

Why does that matter?

Because it allows us to:

• Reduce waste and overproduction
• Focus on quality instead of quantity
• Treat every order with care and purpose

Just like the messages on our shirts, the process itself is intentional.

Clothing That Encourages, Not Just Covers

We believe clothing can do more than cover you, it can encourage you.

Whether it’s:

• A reminder of freedom and recovery
• A faith-based message
• A quiet word of encouragement
• Or something that simply makes you feel understood

Our hope is that when you wear a Tees by Tanya shirt, you feel supported—not just by the words, but by the heart behind them.
