Tee Siopa is the brainchild of the people who brought you the iconic and multi-award-winning Hairybaby.com, purveyors of the finest Irish humour t-shirts. Over the years we’ve concentrated on bringing you hilarious Irish-isms, nostalgia and pop culture by way of graphic t-shirts and various apparel. We’ve always done what we wanted to do, in other words, we don’t custom print for people. But that all changed late in 2020 when a friend contacted us to get a dozen t-shirts printed with his new start up company logo. ‘Sorry, not what we do’ was our response ‘we just print our own designs’ and when he advised he’d tried lost of printers up and down the country but they’d all replied that it wasn’t worth their while to print only a dozen shirts we knew we were missing a trick.

You see, we understand why printers don’t want to do short runs (small quantities), it’s because it takes too much effort and cost to prepare artwork, set up screens etc just for a handful of shirts. So they’re not interested. But that’s where we come in, printing small runs is no bother for us, the technology we use for printing t-shirts means we don’t have a big set up to do, we’re not messing around with screens and buckets of ink. We use the latest technology both digital and direct to garment which means we can do small runs relatively easily and bulk runs too. So why don’t we set up a sister business to Hairy Baby to do just that, use our expertise to print t-shirts for other businesses be it small or big.

And guess what, we did. In January 2022, Tee Siopa by Hairy Baby was born.
