What Is Thriving Ink?

Brand

Thriving Ink is an indie t-shirt company based in the East Bay. We feature art created by a global community of independent artists. We curate the best artwork from the best emerging artists in the world. We like to think of ourselves as a global co-op created for art-lovers and t-shirt enthusiasts. We only print on sweatshop-free American Apparel and are committed to experimenting with our artists to create a truly unique product. At Thriving Ink we openly recognize, honor and celebrate the accomplishments of all of our artists, partners and friends and strive to provide everyone with new and fun opportunities.

Shop

Our first retail location in Pleasanton, California was opened in April of 2009. We worked hard to foster an environment that allows for creative expression and new experiences. At the shop you will have found our complete collection of Thriving Ink tees as well as hundreds of tees, hoodies, bags, and jewelry from some of the best independent brands you haven't heard of yet.

Recently, we closed the doors to our Pleasanton shop. The town of Pleasanton just was not a good fit for a young, conscious, and creative shop like ours to grow and truly thrive.

But, not to worry! Thriving Ink will be opening a new shop on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, CA this summer! Berkeley is a town that we love dearly, and are confident that our shop will be better received and appreciated by the college students, residents and tourists on Telegraph. More details to come!
