Our friend Colt Bowden stopped by - just long enough to eat a gyro and paint a few signs. Crafty! The event was a quite a success - we met fresh faces, sold a few suits, and hung out with a crew of soon-to-be good friends. Much love goes out to Virginie, Davide, & Ken - Thank you for the opportunity and support! "Vision to see, wisdom to know, courage to do" -A.W. Ross |

We punch and rivet each tag by hand. As you can imagine, this also takes some time. It's pretty mindless work that goes over best with a buddy and a beer.

All told, Seea's letterpress hangtags serve the same purpose as all other hangtags. They display our logo, let you know where our products are made, and will be marked with a price tag from your favorite local retailer.
To us, however, they have become a small symbol of our beliefs, and represent another chance to support a small business owner in the pursuit of their own art. Truly they are out-of-the-ordinary everyday objects.
Our sincere respect and thanks goes out to Colt Bowden, for his dedication to a lost art, and his support of our efforts to manufacture our own dreams.
For any of you out there who have bought a Seea suit or have come across them in one of these surf shops, you might have (or maybe not) noticed our hang tags. We think they are pretty adorable but we can't take all the credit. funtemplates hangtags are handmade by Mr. Colt Bowden and his awesome letter press machine. We are so fascinated with the process and the love the goes into printing them, there is something magical about letterpressing and the beautiful feel of the imprint.
