Sure, you can trawl the market stalls, but that takes serious effort and there is really no guarantee. But we may have found a solution to this T dilemma.

Spunky, a label out of Brixton, has finally put an interesting spin on the world's most versatile item. They operate the way a record label does. Artists and wannabe's submit T-shirt designs and the chosen designs are released under the Spunky label, but are fully credited to the artist.

The best part is, their collection is constantly evolving and they're supporting new talent, so great designers who didn't know how to get started are now given the tools (and finances - 300 quid is paid for each successful design) to do so. Forget expensive T-shops and check out the Spunk.
