Vintage Rose Ringer Tee, Botanical Flower Shirt, Black Floral Graphic T-Shirt, Cottagecore Retro Tee

A bold vintage rose takes center stage on this retro-inspired ringer tee. The high-contrast black botanical artwork pairs with a contrasting collar and sleeve bands for a timeless look influenced by vintage printmaking, antique illustrations and classic 1970s graphic shirts.

The image began as a genuine vintage illustration that was ethically sourced and commercially licensed. I artistically reworked the image specifically for this shirt while preserving its beautifully aged character. No generative AI was used in the creation of the design or finished T-shirt.

As a result, you are getting something that is not only vintage-inspired, but a graphic that is truly vintage. Due to the nature of this product, only 2,500 of these tees will be made, so you have an opportunity to own something special and unique - just like a real vintage find.
