Hey bellas! This is just the beginning of a new adventure in the Afrobella journey.

I have opened a Zazzle store, and I’ve got men’s and women’s Afrobella logo teeshirts for sale! And one very fly tote bag. And I’m working on some new, really cool other stuff too!

As of right now, prices range from $19.95 for this tank top, to $33.75 for this trendily distressed men’s tee.

This is an initial foray into the world of Afrobella merchandise — I want my tees to be more affordable, for starters. But these are the standard prices for online tees, and I did a whole lotta research on good tees vs. not so good tees in terms of texture and print quality. Zazzle rules in the ratings I read, plus their shirt sizes run up to 2X — so my full figured bellas can feel the Afrobella love as well.

make custom gifts at Zazzle

I hope you like them, and if any of you have better/cheaper tee shirt recommendations, designs you’d love for yourself, or just thoughts in general, please let me know!

Finally!!! I've been wondering if I'd ever be able to rock an Afrobella t-shirt someday...the logo is too cute! I hope there's no problems getting things up to Canada :)

Wes says:

I will ask the same question as Caribbean Girl. I love your site. Great positive vibes. You just feel so beautiful when you visit this site! Best of luck with your venture!

Caribbean Girl and Ayosi -- yes! Zazzle does international shipping. There's an FAQ about it, and obviously it costs more... here's the info: "International orders may be subject to import duties and taxes. Fees charged depend on the country of delivery, and must be paid upon receipt of your package. Zazzle is currently unable to predict whether or not you will be charged a fee or what that fee might be. Please contact your local customs office for further information. The shipping times given below are estimates. International shipments may be delayed by customs and other circumstances and are outside of Zazzle’s control."

Love the shirts, and as soon as you swing a long-sleeved tee, i'll get me one and rock it all over Los Angeles! PS: When we get our spiffy new President next week, you may want to modify the logo and do a limited run of AfrObamaBella tees! ;)

Congratulations on the new business venture and may it succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Now I'm seeing you as a potential business partner.... for fabulous beaded sandals from Kenya. Can I send you some pictures so you can let me know if you're interested?

Seems like a natural progression and it shows that you are always thinking ahead.We are 100% behind you in this new journey. Good luck. Love always, D&M

I love your website and your moving further along in promoting who you are. Do the damn thing! And no your prices are not too high. We pay for everything else and why not pay $20.00 to support one of our own who personally uplifts me on a daily basis. Keep On Keepin' On!

I apologize for being completely off-topic: I am planning on writing a post about matching colors for outfits and would like to illustrate it with street style pics à la The Sartorialist. I would very much like to include pics of (afro)bellas but have a hard time finding them on street style sites (aren't there any black street style photographers?). Do you have a recommendation? Thanks a lot for your help Fair shopping fairy, Berlin, Germany

Congrats! I wish you much success. I'm thinking the tote will make a nice Christmas gift for some of the Afrobellas in my life. It's so sweet that your parents posted a comment.

I love when something I love expands. Well done. I will have to look into customs charges as UK customs can be vicious with their prices. well done

Caribbean Girl says:

November 2, 2008, 7:20 pm

Bella, thanks for your quick answer on shipping - I just got a chance to check.

Devon says:

A v-neck tee and tank would be fabulous (hint...hint)! Hopefully they will come out just in time for Xmas gifts for myself and others. So what is next.. hats? Make-up bags? Note pads? Journals?

I will buy this! Very considerate to offer a woman's cut tshirt that is not a baby T! Perfect. The only place I can get those is at cafepress but their cloth is cheap.
