pete tees :: a new customer favorite



A little back story for you on Pete tees. I go to LA a few times a year to go to Market. About a year ago, I had the sweet relief of being able to go see some local boutiques in the area. I fell in love with a tee shirt in one of the shops and bought it. Well, that tee shirt ended up being one of those pieces I wore half to death. When that happens, it eventually occurs to me that my customers might love them as much. I tracked down the company and brought them into Physical Element this spring. They've only been in the shop for a week or two, and they are selling like hotcakes.

Made of modal and silk, you can imagine how wonderful they feel on the skin! The shirts also have nice details that make them anything but ordinary, be it the clever pleating at the small of the back , or an interesting burn out print.

These aren't up on our web site, but here is an example of a couple of styles. We have the print top in 3 variations: white on white, dove grey on white, or black on white (shown). The tees are also nicely priced with most coming in under $90. The sheer cardigan has the wonderful back pleat detail I mentioned.

2026 Paris Samoan tee

One of my new favorite tees in the store right now: 2026 Paris' Samoan tee. This is a comfortable mesh tee shirt with wonderful black and white graphics all over. Shots of lime green and chartreuse stitching add a little color punch. Worn alone or as a layer, it will make any outfit stand out from the crowd. $125.
