There's a huge difference between the clothing makers out there, compared to the "Clothing mock-up then send them to be manufactured overseas" makers.
​
Trying to capture and preach to the same market as the screenprinting & cut and sew IN HOUSE folks is crazy to me. Some of you may have found this is very common issue on social medias... I don't knock the mockup game, that's really how most ideas start, but we need to progress past the fast fashion wave. (Yes, i do consider most mockup-dropship work out there as fast fashion adjacent). I'm not positive on this number, but the USA and China tariffs are up massively, (around 54%? quote me if I'm wrong but the point is that it's now becoming expensive and more inaccessible to most people). It's becoming all the more reasonable and right to sink the time into actually learning the processes, sewing, printing, and actually making the pieces. I understand that once your business reaches a certain size, it becomes almost impossible to do it alone or with a group of friends. You may want to look into USA made- sustainable practices and local printers to help achieve the same effect. It might cost the same soon anyway, with these new numbers. A big Shout Out to all my makers out there, We see You Killing the Game!

Happy April!
​
Here's an interesting problem/PSA when it comes to working with really any fabrics, especially synthetics.
The amount of particulates when cutting and especially serging, is almost unnoticeable, but those of you who sew may notice the buildup around the cutting area of your machine. What percentage of that then becomes airborne and may be inhaled? Polyesters, Nylons, Rayon, fleeces... These are all extremely common options when it comes to fabric selection... Is the only real option wearing a respirator or installing a fume hood setup? I'm not sure myself and I am very guilty of not taking proper precautions and possibly
damaging my health. Looking into some solutions this month and would appreciate feedback if you are as passionate about this topic as I am becoming, due to my own exposure.
​
In other news, a small run of cut and sews with this attached graphic are in the works, along with some surprise
extras... May do a "Win a custom burned screen with YOUR graphics on it" this week, we'll see, think that would be a
cool way to get someone into printing, or help someone out who already has a little bit of knowledge and drive. Possibly even offer a First Time discount when it comes to ordering custom screens, and in all being a cheaper, more beginner friendly approach to screen-printing, along with free online and printable guides walking you through all the steps. building the framework for that
as well, so expect at least something related to it soon.

Just threw up some pieces on the "See What's for Sale" Tab.

Also putting up some cute photos from a shoot we did today, just too tired to throw it up here now, but the clothes are now available. Enjoy. I'll ship everything out this next week, thanks again for the support. Love Ya.

Happy March! Tees and Sweaters are currently being printed now! they are turning out lovely, and releasing on the 14th. Any way. I think a major pitfall of being self-driven is sometimes the work can turnout to be without a "goal driven" mindset. How would You set yourself goals? Would it be money? Would it be Success? Genuinely curious. I'm Currently trying to set some. Heard a new friend on the phone lately say he wants to "be known for caring to the people First, and then being recognized as an artist"... I think that may resonate with some of you out there, I surely am trying to be on that track myself, so it felt nice to hear coming from another person. I think a factor of what draws people to academia are the outlined goals like an assignment or final being due. Not saying it is always enjoyable of a feeling for something to be held over you like that, But at least It is concrete. You'll want to view the diagram
on a desktop computer for best results, I cannot promise
clarity.

I know I said the FW25 Catalogue was releasing in February, but I've been all over the place... Thinking we push into a full focus spring release- physical copy only with a special link to order off the magazine...
Been Geared for different stuff lately in my personal life. We'll see, I'll keep you guys posted, haven't forgotten about the catalogue. any way. Working on a new run with this graphic, I'll attach it here. It's about the little crows that hang around my street. Imagine a full size 2color print on some cut and sew items. Think Colorful. Happy Cusp of Spring! Cheers. -korpy

To Continue from the previous post, I'm working on the backend of the site this week to bring back some old features and bare minimums. Do not be alarmed!
There will be various ways to get in touch with me about Warranties, Repairs,
Customs, or if you're a friend of mine from instagram Dms, just reconnect. (I know I've been MIA with a lot of you, and I apologize, just trying to get my shit together.) Been unsure of the direction I want this project to go lately, It's not necessarily a stagnation feeling, but more of a - "I so desperately want this to be
more than it is, more than just making clothes and shit." Feeling. Slowly figuring
that out, but God does it feel impossible! I'm sure it's a common feeling to have
no matter the medium. Anyway. Contact Feature is available if you scroll to the top and click the "GET IN TOUCH" HyperLink. Thanks! -korpy

I suppose I should start with a Welcome! This is now the place for everything involving the korprit project. I'm getting pretty tired of Instagram - though of course I owe it most of my "success" through exposure... Any way. That is not important now. Welcome to the Oasis... If you are coming from an external social media, Make yourself at home, you're now free, no censorship, no structured posts... No REELS... (what da hell oh my gahh...) I think a decentralized internet really is the end game, and keeps things a lot more flexible and "UNDERGROUND" if that makes any sense. Real ones will follow etc. etc.
I'll be posting all sorts of stuff here now. In depth processes, skits, products, news, propaganda... etc. I want an access to simplified information on how to make the things I do, without hiding it behind a paywall. So curl up next to the warm Fire GIF, and sip a cup of hot Tea, I think you'll find your stay here most Enjoyable. ​-korpy
