Three by designer and illustrator Erin Cadigan was started in the summer
of 1997. That summer Erin made a hundred shirts printed with the design
of an alien sitting like a Buddha over the earth and moon with the words
"i believe". She sold them while traveling around the country, seeing live
music and living in her van. The brand has grown slowly and
organically over the past two decades. Each year while traveling
Erin would release a new limited edition shirt. Every design was based on
reading Erin did about science, religion, cultures and aliens.
Every design had a meaning.
In spring 2011 THREE Erin Cadigan became an incorporated brand
launching it's first full line for men and women.
Designs remain limited edition.
