Kiona · six new designs

You are not crazy. You just kept reading.

Someone told you it was settled. Calmly, to your face, assuming you would never check. You checked.

What it is like to be the one who noticed

It was never only the lie. It was the tone. Patient. Reasonable. The voice that says it is finished while the details are still coming out.

You know the words. Settled. Handled. For your own good. They make a thing sound over before anyone has seen what it cost.

Everyone else moved on. You did not. That does not make you bitter. It makes you the person who still reads the second page, and notices when the number changes.

You are not the first. People on this side of it were told it was over before. The record is further down this page, with where each piece came from.

You do not have to argue with anyone. You only have to carry it where you go.

Kiona, drawn six new ways

Kiona is our Trail of Tears design. Same story, six different pictures. Pick the one that feels like yours. Take a second for the person who should hear it, and a third for the one who still thinks it all happened a long time ago.

Two shirts take 15% off each. Three or more take 20% off each. The saving is applied in your cart, with no code to type.

Why I’m taking this much off

I stocked a full run of these shirts. Right now a lot of them are sitting on our shelf, and every box on that shelf is money I can’t put into the next design.

So for a limited time, the more you take, the less each one costs: two shirts take 15% off each, three or more take 20% off each. With two or more shirts, the e-book Echoes From The Trail comes free too.

This offer comes down the day the shelf is clear.
