My Little Capitalist Endeavour...

The Opening of the Official 'The Farmer and the Fald' Merch Store.

Merch.

Everyone loves merch.

It’s all about the merch.

Cut me, and I bleed merch.

But yes, today I am unveiling a few little bits and bobs I have uploaded to my new shop, designed by moi, J.R. Leach, the author behind "The Farmer and the Fald."

It's my brand-new online shop, and while I won't claim to be a fashion guru, I've given it my best shot.

Inside, you'll find an assortment of five hoodies with a Major Arcana theme, with illustrations adapted from my book.

SHOP HERE!

🍃 The Fool - Dare to Dream: Embark on a journey of limitless possibilities, just like The Fool's—and Farmer Bundon’s—fearless leap into the unknown. With our cosy hoodie, you're ready to take on any adventure.

🌍 The World - Embrace Fulfilment: Find harmony and completion in the embrace of The World card's promise—much like the harmony found when Tyr and Alaria dance together.

⚫️ Death - Embrace Transformation: Dive into the depths of transformation and rebirth, mirroring the profound symbolism of the Death card—like Farmer Bundon’s transformation when faced with his doom. This hoodie, in deep, mysterious black, captures the essence of change.

🌑 The Hanged Man - Surrender to Serenity: Discover serenity in surrender as you embrace The Hanged Man's unique perspective on life; change is looming—as it was for poor Sir Willem. Our hoodie, rendered in calming shades of grey, is your ticket to relaxation.

🔴 The Devil - Temptation Awaits: Succumb to temptation with fiery red hues, mirroring the allure and seduction embodied by The Devil card—with all the charm of the devilish Lady DeGrissier. This hoodie exudes a bold and seductive charm.

🧥 Unparalleled Comfort and Style: Crafted from a blend of 50% pre-shrunk cotton and 50% polyester, our hoodies offer the perfect balance of softness and durability. The 8.0 oz/yd² (271.25 g/m²) fabric weight ensures cosiness without the bulk.

✨ Thoughtful Design Details: Featuring air-jet spun yarn for a soft feel and reduced pilling, a double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, and a front pouch pocket for added convenience, our hoodie combines fashion-forward design with practicality.

👌 Perfect Fit and Finish: The quarter-turned body ensures a crease-free look, and the 1 × 1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex guarantee a snug yet flexible fit. The double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem ensure long-lasting quality.

🌍 Ethical Sourcing: We take pride in sourcing our blank product responsibly from Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Honduras, or El Salvador. By wearing this hoodie, you support ethical and fair practices in the fashion industry.

Every journey begins with a single step, and this hoodie is your first step into a world of enchantment and comfort. Whether you're exploring the mystical or lounging in style, our Tarot Hoodie Collection is your go-to choice for cooler evenings. Embrace the magic, choose your card, and elevate your wardrobe with our hand-drawn tarot hoodies today!**

**If I sounded a little more upbeat in that section, it’s because I used ChatGPT to write the product descriptions for me. Scandalous, I know—and I have the gall to call myself an author. I attempted to write my own, as the above examples sounded a little—what to call it—manic? But I couldn’t find quite the right tone—I’ve always found copy harder than prose.

Anyways.

As well as the five hoodies, there are also a few T-shirt designs and a very handsome tote bag… and that’s that for the moment—it's a work in progress, like me and this whole entrepreneurialness thing. If there are any other items you can think of, do let me know!

I will eventually get around to setting up some prints of my art pieces, but currently, my prints are only available to my three very loyal patrons.

Thanks for dropping by and bearing with my creative attempts. Let's see where this journey takes us!
