Cotton Bureau Turns 12

It’s Throwback Thursday, and we’re tossing it allll the way back to the mid-90s with some freaking good tees.

We’re not going to dwell on the fact that we’re 40 years old now and that, since launching in 2013, Cotton Bureau has been both the foreground and background of an inconceivable 30% of our lives. We’re really not.

Let’s just chill and reminisce about the time when the most difficult thing we had to do in a day was try to beat Goldeneye (🎵) on 007 mode after school. This is a celebration. We’re just happy to be here, and we’re glad you’re here too.

Free Shipping On Everything

Let’s keep it simple. You like us, we like you. Let’s do free shipping on everything today through next Thursday, June 19th. Boomshakalaka!

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to snag a mug, t-shirt, phone case, mug, embroidered hat, or canvas tote, you’d be silly to miss this chance. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Use code HAPPY12 at checkout. (International shipping is half-off, cool?)

Year Two of the Ultra Cheap Birthday Tee

In what we hope will become an annual tradition, we’re heavily discounting a sick, screenprinted Cotton Bureau tee created just for the occasion, this time by one of our good friends and favorite designers, Annica Lydenberg.

For the next week only, limited edition “High Quality, Low Key” apparel is available for sale. Get either vibrant, paint-splattered CMYK or minimalist black foil on your choice of garments including super fresh 100% cotton heavyweight Comfort Colors 1717 tees just the way your remember plus our usual variety of lightweight tri-blend men’s and women’s tees, soft Bella + Canvas fleece, casual tank tops for lounging around the pool. Touchdown!

Tees are available for the low, low, we’re-definitely-losing-money-on-these price of $12 each. Fleece is obtainable for the equally ridiculous price of $25. Get ‘em while they last, because like last year’s Cotton Burro tee to celebrate our 11th birthday and the appliqué sweatshirts and floral tees from our 10th birthday, they won’t be back.

One (?) More Thing

We liked Annica’s work so much, we couldn’t resist dropping a few more styles.

If you’re into simple scripts, we’ve got the shirt (and hats) for you.

The full hat lineup runs the CMYK gamut from cyan script to pretty in pink to PGH edition black and yellow to mega minimal black-on-black.

Okay, that’s it! Thank you again for 12 phenomenal years. Go shop all styles, and feel free to say something nice to us on Bluesky or Instagram. We’re not above fishing for compliments on our special day.
