The name Vanilla may be new to you, but the people behind the brand at Charterhouse Holdings plc have a rich heritage in garment manufacture and digital textile printing solutions. It’s safe to say they know a thing or two about making and decorating garments! Inspired by the recent explosion of sublimated garments in retail, Vanilla’s objective was to develop a range of premium fashion basics that were optimised for sublimation printing – and they’ve done exactly that! If you’ve been frustrated with the choice of sublimation garments being limited to just white polyester, you now have a real choice. Breaching the status quo, Vanilla have created a range of core fashion basics in polyester and polyester-rich (65/35 poly/cotton) fabrics, including tees, sweats and a hood in a series of pastel colour options that represent the perfect surface for sublimation printing. A hero product within Vanilla’s launch collection that demonstrates the innovative thinking behind the brand is the VAN105 Men’s Pocket Tee. Pockets are more usually sewn onto the T-shirt after printing, but the VAN105 offers a ready-to-print solution without the hassle of sewing. This cleverly thought-out t-shirt features a 100% cotton Tee with a 100% polyester white pocket. This composition offers decorators the choice of either masking round the pocket with Vanilla application tape or applying an A4 sublimation transfer over the entire pocket prior to washing. Since this tee is 100% cotton, sublimation ink doesn’t bond to the main part of the tee, instead only the polyester pocket – creating a clean, crisp-edged print. The yoke of the Pocket Tee is also 100% polyester, which enables brands to print their own logo or design on the inside back neck as a way of adding extra value.
