Crafting One-of-a-Kind Prints with Our Design Team
Over the years, we’ve been known to get creative when it comes to prints. From fish and flamingos to vintage inspiration, these wearable pieces of art have become an essential way to showcase your personality and something of a signature for us.
Wearing a printed piece can be a conversation starter on its own.
We like to think of them as a type of mood board. A blank canvas. Clever, often with elements of surprise and storytelling. Something to inspire and make dressing fun. Wearing a printed piece can be a conversation starter on its own. And more than that, it’s a conversation between us and you: our friends, families and customers.
We pride ourselves on creating every design from scratch in our Pilot Mill studio. Each season, our talented team of designers sits down and talks about themes and influences. They gather imagery, sketch ideas and explore everything from classic cars, Hollywood heroes, blues and jazz to vintage watches. On their tablets, they then draw every print by hand, combining smaller snippets into a cohesive expression that plays off the selected seasonal palette.
From iconic cocktails to standout patterns, sometimes throwing an idea against the wall just happens to stick.
After starting out simply, our team now pursues more than 70 unique designs every season, spanning knit polos and shirts to swim trunks. From everyone’s favorite tomato-based brunch cocktail to a riff on America’s pastime, sometimes throwing an idea against the wall just happens to stick.
If a low-key approach is more your speed, Crown Crafted features easygoing motifs with a slightly more subdued approach.
Whether you opt for bold and playful or subtle and sophisticated, prints are the perfect way to add a little spirit to your style.
Besides, isn’t the point of style to express yourself?
