Implications - Arts and crafts have moved beyond the realm of child's play, and these hand-drawn tees demonstrate how the do-it-yourself mentality still exists. As fashion houses consistently market expensive clothing, homemade looks are still popular amongst consumers. Perhaps companies should consider making products that have a grassroots feel in order to appeal to a wider range of consumers.
