It’s Autostraddle’s Biggest Merch Sale Ever!

The Autostraddle Merchandise store opened on September 15th, 2010, with the debut of our first-ever merch item: grey “AUTOSTRADDLE THIS” t-shirts. We printed 50. They sold out in 24 hours. Since then, we’ve sold over 1,200 “Autostraddle This” t-shirts, and a whole hell of a lot more.

FIVE YEARS OF MERCHANDISE

FIVE YEARS OF MERCHANDISE

In the beginning, all the merchandise shipping was handled by me or Co-founder Alex and our girlfriends. When the job grew too large for me to manage, it became editorial assistant Bren’s job — she crammed stacks of boxes into her tiny apartment and has been manually spreadsheeting and shipping every item into your hands for three years. But now, there is more merchandise to ship than there is space in Bren’s apartment or time in her life, so we’re moving operations to a family-run e-fulfillment center in Michigan and moving our store to Shopify. It’ll be a slightly more expensive process for us, but it’ll be a much better one for Bren — and for you! You can look forward to more payment and shipping options and faster shipping as well as more precise geo-specific shipping costs.

To celebrate the move, we’re printing lots of fun new stuff — but first we’ve gotta sell some of the old stuff. We’re hoping to minimize what we need to ship to the new location by selling it to you instead!

IT’S TIME FOR AUTOSTRADDLE’S BIGGEST MERCH SALE EVER!

  1. Seeing all the merch by year sent me down memory lane…. Unicorn Plan-It, I had forgotten about it!

  4. I was just about to buy some stuff a few days ago and then lost my connection. Seems that worked out well for me seeing as how everything I wanted is on sale now!!!

    • We don’t have any plans to get more, I’m sorry! Summer’s winding down so we’re focusing more on t-shirts rather than tanks for the rest of the year
