Made for the desert
Coachella is a music festival, a runway and a brand stage all at once. The merch has to work in 100-degree afternoons and cold desert nights, and it has to photograph well. We print it all in Downtown LA, a straight shot down the 10 from the Coachella Valley.
What festival merch works best?
- Tees and tank tops. Light and breathable for hot days. The core of any festival drop. See t-shirts.
- Embroidered hats and snapbacks. Shade plus a stitched logo that lasts long after the weekend. See hats.
- Hoodies and crewnecks. For the after-dark sets when the temperature drops. See hoodies and sweatshirts.
- Totes and bags. Carry the essentials, carry the logo.
- Bandanas and scarves. Dust protection with a print on it.
- Retro and tie-dye looks. Bold color that fits the festival mood.
Who orders Coachella merch?
- Artists and performers: fan merch to sell, plus gear for the band and crew.
- Brands and sponsors: giveaways and staff shirts for activations.
- Festival vendors: uniforms and branded accessories for the team.
- Creators: pieces to wear and shoot all weekend. See merch for influencers.
- Friend groups and fan crews: matching fits for the whole camp.
Which print method should I choose?
- Bold, few-color designs: screen printing. Solid, saturated ink, printed in-house.
- Full-color or photo art: DTG or DTF.
- Logos on hats and jackets: embroidery.
- Names on crew shirts: heat transfer.
Choose lighter colors and breathable fabrics for daytime pieces. Light-colored garments stay cooler in the sun, and large, heavy-ink prints breathe less than a soft print.
