About Virginia

The story of Virginia

Virginia is Shenandoah Skyline Drive, Colonial Williamsburg, Chesapeake Bay crabs, and the birthplace of eight U.S. presidents.

History & heritage

The 10th state to ratify the Constitution in 1788, Virginia is the birthplace of American English settlement at Jamestown (1607) and of Washington, Jefferson and Madison. With the state motto “Sic semper tyrannis” and a founding year of 1788, Virginia carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

The Chesapeake Bay wraps the east, the Piedmont rolls into Richmond, the Blue Ridge climbs Skyline Drive, and the Appalachian Plateau ripples toward Kentucky. Covering 42,775 sq mi, Virginia lies in the Mid-Atlantic region and runs on Eastern time.

Culture, food and traditions

Presidential heritage at Monticello and Mount Vernon, Virginia Beach summers, DC-adjacent NoVA tech, and UVA vs. Virginia Tech football shape the Old Dominion. From regional flavors like Virginia ham, Chesapeake blue crab, peanut soup to festivals such as Neptune Festival and Chincoteague Pony Swim, the culture of Virginia shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Cavaliers, Hokies, Norfolk Tides and universities such as Virginia, Virginia Tech, William & Mary anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Virginia designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Monticello, Colonial Williamsburg, Arlington National Cemetery, Shenandoah and protected lands such as Shenandoah, Blue Ridge Parkway, Colonial NHP give Virginia its outdoor identity. The state animal is the American Foxhound, the state bird is the Cardinal, and the state tree is the Flowering Dogwood — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
