What is Bella Canva and Why It Matters
Why We Only Use Bella Canva
I know your average Joe isn't aware, so let me give you a rundown on Bella Canvas. Bella Canvas is Gay Men’s Field Guides’ exclusive in-house shirt provider that I use to print all my designs on. If you buy a shirt from me, it will be Bella Canvas—it's non-negotiable. So you're probably wondering what the hell Bella Canvas is, right? That's fair; let me explain.
Did you ever volunteer or attend an event where you received a free promotional t-shirt? Perhaps you won a t-shirt at a spin wheel that banks often use at Pride events to encourage us to open accounts and win prizes. God, that pisses me off, lol. Imagine the shirt you got—there’s probably one in your closet right now. Remember when you got it and held it? There was something special about it; it felt soft and like it would be a cherished item that you’d return to on Saturday mornings. It was probably a Bella Canvas tee. The t-shirt they made for the 2023 Gay Pride event was also a Bella Canvas tee. It’s still hanging in my closet, just as soft as the day I got it.
They do a lot of great work, ethically source cotton, ensure fair wages, and hire minorities. Check out the deets for yourself.
They're the real deal...
