About Us
Who We Are
Chrisraw is an independent apparel brand based in Boulder, Colorado. We design Hawaiian shirts inspired by Japanese art — woodblock prints, samurai aesthetics, ukiyo-e compositions, and the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms. The kind of shirts that have a story already inside them.
What We Make
Four collections, each rooted in Japanese visual culture:
Wave — Hokusai's churning seas, dancing cranes, the endless push of tide against shore.
Samurai — Not the warrior at war, but the one at dawn — disciplined, graceful, still.
Animal — A cat surfing a wave, an owl in plum blossoms . . . Bold, joyful, unapologetically alive.
Peach Blossom — For people who notice beautiful things don't last, and that's exactly what makes them worth wearing.
How We Work
Every Chrisraw piece is made-to-order. When you place an order, our production partners print your chosen design on premium fabrics using high-quality direct-to-garment or sublimation printing techniques. This means zero waste — nothing is made until you want it.
We design everything in-house. Each pattern is refined and tested before it goes live, ensuring the colors, detail, and fit meet our standards. We work with trusted manufacturing partners who specialize in apparel printing and handle production, quality control, and fulfillment.
Why Chrisraw
Every print is refined until it's right — patterns matched at the seams, colors that hold, fabric that feels good in actual sunlight on an actual human being. We back everything with a 30-day return guarantee, because we'd be embarrassed to sell you something we weren't sure of.
We're not a big brand. Just a small team with a genuine obsession for the art that started this whole thing.

Art was never meant to be preserved. It was meant to be lived in.
