🐼☁️🐾 The Story Behind the OS Tee: Comfort, Connection, and a Dreamy Escape 🌸💭👕

When I first created the OS Tee, it wasn’t just about the style—it was about comfort, ease, and a piece that I could wear every day without thinking twice. Standing at 158cm and 50kg, the term “oversize” initially meant something very personal to me. It was the feeling of a piece that embraced my body in a relaxed, effortless way. That’s why it was called the OS Tee—because "oversize" was exactly what I wanted.

But as the brand grew, I realized that the meaning of "OS" could be more than just about the fit. It could also stand for "One Size"—and that’s how it evolved. Most of the tees I offer come in just one size, and while I wish I could offer more variations, the truth is, like many small businesses, starting with limited inventory means I have to be selective about what I create. But what I love about that is it allows me to keep the collection small, but super special. It’s about being thoughtful and intentional with each design, because you, as my customers, deserve nothing less.

The OS Tee wasn’t just designed for style; it was designed for my lifestyle. I wanted something that I could wear comfortably at home—because let’s face it, that’s where I spend most of my time. But I also wanted it to be versatile enough for those quick trips out when I’m meeting friends or running errands. You know those days when you just need to throw on something cute, fix your hair in a rush, put on a cap to hide the mess, and be out the door? The OS Tee solves that problem. It’s comfy, cute, and perfect for those moments when you need something easy but still want to feel good in what you’re wearing.

A little behind-the-scenes: All the tees are hand-printed by me, and while I had originally envisioned a "washed-out" look for the prints, it didn’t quite turn out as I had planned. Instead, I use the HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) method to print every tee myself. While HTV prints may not last as long as other methods like DTF (Direct to Film), it made the most sense for me as a small business. And while the prints may not stay perfect forever, over time, that lived-in look will naturally set in, which is exactly the vibe I was going for.

We also expanded into a kids' collection later on, something I hadn’t originally planned. But then, I noticed the little ones—kids looking at Laluna so lovingly, saying her name with such innocence and joy. The word "Laluna" just sounded so cute when they said it! And that was when I realized that my designs could be just as much for them as for adults. So, we introduced the kids' collection, adding a little extra dose of cuteness to the brand.

Now, with each piece I create, I try to keep your feedback in mind. You’ve chosen to support Lalunathepanda, and for that, I’m so grateful. It’s not always about meeting everyone’s expectations, but about meeting my own, and that’s why I’m so selective with the designs I offer. I want to make sure that everything I create has a story, a purpose, and a little piece of my heart.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping me continue to grow and refine what Lalunathepanda means. I hope you find joy in these pieces just as much as I do.
