About California

The story of California

California is the Golden State — Pacific coast, redwood forests, Sierra granite and the cultural engines of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

History & heritage

Admitted in 1850 during the Gold Rush, California grew from Spanish missions and mining camps into the world's fifth-largest economy. With the state motto “Eureka” and a founding year of 1850, California carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

From Redwoods in the north to Joshua Tree in the south, from Death Valley to Mount Whitney, California holds every landscape. Covering 163,696 sq mi, California lies in the West region and runs on Pacific time.

Culture, food and traditions

Surf culture on the coast, tech in the Bay, entertainment in L.A. and farm country in the Central Valley — California's identity shifts every hundred miles. From regional flavors like fish tacos, In-N-Out, sourdough to festivals such as Coachella and Rose Parade, the culture of California shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Lakers, Warriors, Dodgers, Giants and universities such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our California designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood Sign, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe and protected lands such as Yosemite, Sequoia, Redwood give California its outdoor identity. The state animal is the California Grizzly Bear, the state bird is the California Quail, and the state tree is the California Redwood — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
