Katpif, known for their bright, happy colored shirts was started at the beginning of two boy’s, Jeremy C. and Jeremiah O., high school careers. “We called it Katpif just because it sounded cool. My friend was like ‘it’s going to be called Katpif’ and that was it,” said Jeremy C., one of Katpif’s founders. Katpif, having just released their summer ‘18 line, sat down with me for a short interview:

What are some challenges with starting a brand?

• “Some of the challenges with starting a brand is finding the name -- which is the most important part, figuring out which kind of tee shirts you want to buy, finding a place that does screen printing and stuff like that, then promoting your brand to actually get your stuff selling!”

What is Katpif’s look inspired by?

• “We are inspired by brands like Golf, of course, and Svnkface.”

What advice would you give to someone who wants to make shirts and sell them?

• “Make sure to get as much promotion as possible. Tell everyone you know know about what you do, don’t just keep making the same thing over and over and expect to grow, and also learn how to network and become friends with people who do things similar to you.”

What is the brands goal?

• The goal for Katpif is to be a brand that’s known across the world and loved by everyone
