What is this place?

Lotosu aims to bring moments and emotions to life in a few short words placed upon your clothes.

We use stories and experiences from our community to bring life into each article of clothing. We take a select piece of each story and make it into a design for the community to wear. Our goal is to help bring the emotions and ideas we feel into the world outside of our heads.

When you wear Lotosu, you are not only covering your body – you are carrying a story alongside you.

Each person will take something different from the story on your shirt – and we believe that is the beauty of the entire project. Sharing emotions, ideas, and stories of the what is going on inside our fractured memories… that is the goal. To make someone else feel something minutely close to your thoughts  – if only for a fraction of a second – is worth it.

So please, send us your stories on our Submit a Story page. We’ll weave them into short pieces, edit them, or let them stand as is. All get featured in our Stories Section.

Submit a story, get it on a shirt.

The Thoughts That Started it All

Lotosu… what’s in a name?

Something that resides.

A split second in time put into words for permanence.

Can you wear eternal? Put thoughts into threads?

Why not-

Your musing are most important. They stick when all else drips away, oozing toward the rush.

Grab the inconceivable.

Loose fruits into the brute chutes of today’s hum-drum, over-run world.

Something more than just basic, banal words of wit.

Something that… feels ocean spray dropping in as the wave crests… that tunnels you through the indescribable.

That lets you glide until the broken moment fragments, and you are pulled beneath.

Savor that moment,

Speak that loud,

Speak without noise,

Speak your truth.
