Inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) — and not a word of it from the monster. This is Van Helsing speaking to Mina Harker, an old scholar thanking a young woman for her courage and her clever mind: "There are darknesses in life, and there are lights; you are one of the lights." It is the kindest line in a book about the dark, and it was said to a woman who had every reason to be afraid and stayed anyway.

The design features a woman in a flowing nightdress carrying a single lit candle through a grove of bare gothic trees, moths drawn out of the darkness toward her flame, with the quote lettered in antique gold above and below her.

Stoker gave Mina the sharpest mind in the novel — she is the one who gathers the scattered letters and diaries and finds the pattern no one else can see, and Van Helsing is the one who says it out loud. More than a century on, the line has outlived the vampire that surrounds it, and it still belongs to the woman someone else was lucky to have in the dark.

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.
