About me: Acanthus Apparel is a unique clothing company that merges the two different styles of its designers, a tattoo artist and an art history major. Acanthus produces designer t-shirts that are comfortable and have a handmade appeal. The imagery used on their shirts starts out with simple line drawings then evolves into intricate designs. Every shirt is unique and a limited number are produced due to all of the processes involved. These processes include dying, bleaching, painting, screen-printing, patchwork, and distressing.
A quick note: We only print our own designs and are not a screenprinting company, we are a clothing company. However, we can refer you to places in Des Moines that can assist you with your personal or business screenprinting needs.
