A pivotal moment in my life revealed the need for complete honesty—honoring what is truly innocent. From this foundation, I reshaped my path, making difficult shifts in relationships and daily life.
Amidst this transformation, the phrase “I will wear my heart on my sleeve” took on new meaning. More than an expression, it became a way of life—embracing vulnerability, truth, and authenticity from the inside out. It’s a reminder that honesty, though not always easy, can lead to real freedom—one "heart-on-my-sleeve" moment at a time.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s Othello, where Iago cynically declares, "I will wear my heart on my sleeve for daws to peck at: I am not what I am," this phrase challenges an opposite approach to life: to truly be who we are.
Through Heart on My Sleeve Tees, I hope to reflect and inspire this ongoing quest-ion: Who am I, truly?
Heart on My Sleeve Tees is more than sustainably crafted,
hand-screened t-shirts—it’s a philosophy.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s Othello, where honesty is ironically illuminated through deception, our brand reclaims the phrase
“heart on my sleeve” as a celebration of transparency and self-expression.
By wearing truth—literally and figuratively—we embrace the power of honesty from the inside out.
Whether through our designs or simply through daily life, we
invite you to be part of the Heart on My Sleeve family and live boldly, vulnerably, and authentically.
No matter what you wear, honesty is always in style. XO
