Our Story 

Where to start...

​

blimpcollective was founded in a living room, on the floor, at our old flat. 

"Yo, you know that photo that we took in Spain? The one of the statue, I think that would look crazy on a tee" - J.Bentley

"Why don't we do it then, I'm getting bored of all these graphic tees" - J.Hill

"F**k it, let's do it" - J.Bentley 

​

That's how it started... and the rest was history. 

​

Me and my brother have been attached at the hip for most of our lives, the both of us obsessed with the natural beauty of the world and the wonders that it has to offer. We have both been photographers from a very young age taking photos of the stupidest things. (ask us about the trolley photo) 

What we want to achieve with this brand you ask? We are aiming to put a little bit of the real world back into clothing, instead of having a drawn, or generated tee, why not have one that has captured the incredible natural world in a single moment. 

​

When we started we were just doing this for fun, something nice that made us feel good about the products we were producing. But all of a sudden, people gained interest and it turned this little business for fun, into something that we are dedicating our lives to.

We have faced many issues with the things we have gotten, and with things we haven't quite been able to grasp with both hands. Countless hours spent trying to get "that" one photo. Not even mentioning the amount of photos we have looked through from our outings in order to find ''that" one photo. 

​

At the end of the day, we can't thank you enough for the support on our little project. We hope that you can enjoy the photos we have taken and the stories that come with them just as much as we do. Many memories were shared collecting our repertoire and there will be many more memories to come. What we want, is for you to experience the world just like we have, one photo at a time!
