The Salt Eaters Bookshop is an independent bookstore in Inglewood, Ca prioritizing books, comics, and zines by and about Black women, girls, femmes, and gender expansive people.

We are thrilled to share our first ever collaborative t-shirt commemorating Los Angeles Black bookstores, dropping on (what we're calling) #BlackIndieBookstoreDay! All pre-orders go towards the sustainability of our sacred Black book spaces. Each tee was made with love and care right here in Los Angeles. This is a very limited run; once we're out...we're out!

Made of 100% USA cotton, this textile is beefy, durable, and absorbent, and is virtually shrink free as a result of garment dyeing. The garment is washed with natural enzymes, resulting in a broken-in feel, just like a T-shirt that was washed or worn for a decade or two. Its special features include its heavy and sturdy feel and combined with a more generous fit (about 1 wider on the flat then a contemporary T-shirt) and higher neck line.
