Everything in the article after the part where she calls Danny and I "embarrassingly young" was actually pretty awesome ;)
And as always great to see some of our co-creation partners on there too. Below is the text from the article.
MEN’S DRESS SHIRTS: Blank Label (blank-label.com). Starts at $45, shipping $6–$20.
What it is: Started by two embarrassingly young friends in 2009 (cofounders Danny Wong and Fan Bi are 19 and 22, respectively), Blank Label offers men the chance to “cocreate” a dress shirt to their exact specifications—everything from the fabric to the monogram is up to the consumer. Shirts are sewn in Shanghai and shipped to the customer within three weeks.
How it works: First, you choose a style from a variety of patterns and types of fabric, like poplin and broadcloth. Next, you pick out the finer details: Different types of cuffs (French versus standard), pockets, and even shirt closures (snaps or regular buttons) are all options, as is your choice of monogram and what the tag—which is stitched right into the shirt—says. A few body measurements are necessary (including neck size, height and body type) to complete the order—the whole process takes about 15 minutes.
The results: Once my husband’s shirt arrived, it fit him perfectly, and the fabric he chose-—a black checked poplin—feels and looks much more appealing than many of the mass-market options available.
Worth it? Basic shirts begin at just $45, so designing your own stylish top barely costs more than a button-up you can buy at Macy’s, and the results are more stylish—even my polo-wearing husband says he would definitely cocreate again.
