Remember the Book Scarves? Well, now you can do more than just wear your favorite story around your neck.
If this campaign on Kickstarter gets, well, kick-started, you might soon be able to wear your favorite work of literature on your shirt. I’m talking about Litographs.
Printing the entire text of a literary masterpiece on an article of clothing isn’t exactly a new concept, but Litographs managed to take something that has already been done to a different level. Instead of just printing the text on the shirt, they’ve set it so that the cracks and spaces in between reveal an image that’s appropriate for the story.
Check out the gallery below for the first Litographs shirts that are going into production.
The project is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $30(USD) will get you one Litographs shirt of your choice. Contributing $25 more will get you one of Litographs’ prints to hang on your wall.

Stories are more than just mere words on paper. They have the power to carry you off to faraway lands while making you care for characters as if they were your friends in real life. Stories can also serve as your temporary escape from the real world whenever you need to take a break from real life.
Given the power of said books, I think it’s just appropriate to pay homage to them at least once in a while. That’s exactly what Tori Iannario did by coming up with this series of Wrap Up With A Good Book scarves.
They’re basically lightweight scarves with text from some of the most renowned works in the literary world screenprinted on them, like Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Jane Eyre, and Tale of Two Cities.
They’re a great gift for the librarian or English lit major in your life – though they might be a little difficult to read when they’re wearing one. The story scarves are available on Tori’s storiarts Etsy shop for $39.99(USD) each.
