Made in Canada: Whom You Know Is Thrilled to Present The Debut of a New Canadian Fashion Line: We Recommend the ALIX Tee of T by T ~ Collection (Tees by TK)


O Canada
Our home and native land
True Patriot Love
Best luxury t-shirts at your command!

Just in time for The Stanley Cup Playoffs, the High Holy time for worshipers of Lord Stanley's Cup and the most important sport in the world, hockey, (see her Instagram page to see how Peachy made The Stanley Cup in pottery class at Miss Porter's while the other girls made vases and bowls) we've found the best black luxury t-shirts to sport to all the games and viewing parties, and the rest of the year as well of course.
AND THEY ARE NOT ONLY THE BEST ONES WE'VE SEEN, BUT ALSO 
THEY'RE 
MADE IN CANADA!  Canada is the closest country to New York!  We love Canadians and have always had positive experiences with them.  The newest positive experience is with designer TK!


All t-shirts are not the same and it's time to enter a new level of sophisticated luxury with T by T by Tamar Kate.  They are thoughtfully designed in Vancouver, Canada; the fabric is sourced from Montreal, Canada; and they are manufactured in Vancouver, Canada.  The 

ALIX Tee style #1001 we recommend, and it is short sleeves and a basic t, but made in an extraordinary way.  The fit is 
tailored to lightly hug your body; this baseball cut short sleeve tee is a quintessential basic tee. With a scoop neck, a seamless line over the shoulder, short sleeves, high-low hem & slim fit through the torso, this is a must have for every day activities.  It can be dressed up or down successfully, and this is the start of the TK hit parade, so strike up the band. 
Colours Available ~ Black







T by T Collection is made in Canada from luxury textiles sourced from Montréal. Each TShirt is made of specially sourced Modal fabric, and is designed so that the fit is both relaxed and effortlessly stylish. The line can transition from day to evening, and is an essential addition to any wardrobe.  In a world where so much is disposable and forgettable (neither of which we seek out but sort through!), 


Tamar Kate is about things that last, and the company maintains an uncompromising commitment to the highest standards both in fabric quality and craftsmanship!

~ Its our mission to minimize our carbon footprint. 
Here are some of the ways we try... ~
Our business cards & thank you cards are printed on recycled paper.

We ship in resealable shipping bags for easy returns.
Our tear away washing labels are biodegradable.

Organic textiles are grown in controlled settings with no pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals.
Only natural fertilizers are used and the soil and water are monitored.

Our merchandise should be washed in cold water, reducing hydro usage. 

TAMAR KATE Merchandise is all picked up in plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes and packaging.

Everything is done locally so no shipping, crate, air waste, fuel, excess waste, we make pick ups and drop offs at our warehouse for production purposes ourselves.

We hope to excel in these areas and will continue to find ways to minimize our footprint!

Organic Modal Fabric ~

Fabric Details Modal

Like other types of rayon, originally marketed as "artificial silk," Modal is soft, smooth and breathes well. Its texture is similar to that of cotton or silk. It is cool to the touch and very absorbent. Like cotton, modal dyes easily and becomes colour-fast after submersion in warm water. Modal drapes well and keeps its shape, even when wet. 

Washing Instructions Modal

One of the advantages of Modal over cotton is its resistance to shrinkage, a notorious problem with cotton. Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction. Its smoothness also makes hard water deposits less likely to adhere to the surface, so the fabric stays soft through repeated washings. For best wash use cold water and lay flat to dry.


Owner & Designer ~ www.TAMARKATE.com ~ TK is a Vancouver based entrepreneur. 

TK’s depth of knowledge in the sales of luxury goods comes directly from her experience working closely with clientele of high net worth across multiple industries. After listening to the needs of the luxury customer, her current project sees her building a luxury organic modal fabric t-shirt line. The line, ’T by T Collection,’ (Tees by TK), features a selection of tanks, t-shirts and tee-dresses. Her main purpose is "to make every woman feel chic while staying comfortable,” and eventually adding in mens & childrens' styles, as well as branching off into other business ideas. 

TK returned to Vancouver in 2014 after spending 2 years completing an MBA with a specialization in Luxury Brand Management. Prior to this, she spent 5 years in Hawaii where she received a BSBA majoring in International Business and Marketing as well as studying French and Spanish. 

TK has worked across multiple industries in several countries worldwide, which has allowed her to gain valuable hands-on experience in the hospitality industry, event planning, consulting and in luxury sales. Internationally, TK has worked in a number of industries. She was involved with a consulting project at The Fairmont Monte-Carlo and SBM, as well as putting together a study of Monaco's offerings for tourists, residents, and potential business clients. In Hawaii, TK was a part of a small team that started up Event Attainment Hawaii which is now host to the Annual Polo Event on the North Shore of Oahu. In addition, TK has worked in the hospitality industry in Mexico, a consulting firm in Vancouver, and sales in Whistler, B.C. Once returning from New York, and working with Tiffany & Co in Vancouver for 2 years, TK saw the opportunity to apply her passion and talent to a company of her own. She returned to school, gaining insight into the inner working of running a business while taking an MBA program at the International University of Monaco.

After finishing her MBA in Luxury Brand Management at the University of Monaco, TK returned to her native Vancouver and noticed a void in the luxury apparel market. With her years of experience working with purveyors of extravagant goods, TK knew she had the skills and connections to merge together the relaxed West Coast lifestyle with a chic, upscale edge.

T by T Collection is the culmination of this vision. A line of sophisticated t-shirts for the fashion forward woman that considers the comfort we yearn for, and the chic edge we crave.
