Inspired by W. Somerset Maugham's profound reflection on reading, this design captures the essence of finding solace and escape within the pages of a book. The phrase 'Acquiring the habit of reading is to construct a refuge for yourself from almost all the miseries of life' resonates with those who seek comfort and adventure through literature.

The design features an open book surrounded by sprigs of lavender and wildflowers, symbolizing tranquility and natural beauty. A small bird perches serenely on the book, while a distant church spire rises amidst softly hued skies and soaring birds, creating a scene of serene retreat and contemplation.

Reading has long been a sanctuary for many, offering an escape from the mundane and a gateway to worlds unknown. Through the visual metaphors of nature and flight, the design commemorates the transformative power of reading, echoing Maugham's belief in literature as a refuge and source of inspiration.

Washing Instructions

Follow these care tips, and your Mystic Eden shirts will keep their vibrant colors longer:

  1. Flip your t-shirts inside out before washing and drying. It might seem small, but it makes a big difference!
  2. Choose gentle detergents and opt for low temperatures.
  3. Don't overdo the spinning. Too much spinning can wear out your shirts faster.
  4. Air dry your t-shirts whenever you can. If you must use the dryer, avoid heavy items like winter coats and blankets.
  5. When ironing, flip your t-shirts inside out and start with a lower heat setting. Sometimes, designs and irons don't mix well.
