THE TYGER STORY
Yes, we know- "It's just a T shirt!"
But for us, it's everything.
Tyger, Tyger was born from the ashes of our lives. From the graveyard of our dreams, heartbreaks, failed ventures and much, much more. But mostly it was born from hope.
And "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies". This is a quote from one of our favourite films, The Shawshank Redemption. (Yes, we are film buffs too. This is India. Who isn't? Am I right?)
And from this hope rose the dream of Tyger, Tyger. A dream to build something brilliant, something magnificent like a Tiger. And whether we achieve this dream or not, time will tell. But for now, we are here. We have started. We are not giving up.
We began our journey in February 2026 with just one person. Then almost immediately we became two. We launched with so much trepidation. We thought no one was going to buy from us. And just like that one day a random stranger bought a t shirt from us. We stared at the order on our dashboard in disbelief. Yes, we know, 'It's just a t shirt'. But for us it was hope. That may be, just may be… this could work out.
First there was one. Then there were two. And now there's you. Thank you for choosing Tyger, Tyger! We are eternally grateful to you for supporting our small, independent business.
We leave you with the poem from whence came our brand's name.
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
~ William Blake.
