Our Story

We frequent anime conventions around the country and noticed something missing. While many t-shirt vendors show up with the latest internet meme or science fiction favorites, many only have a few items related directly to anime fandom outside of licensed merchandise. We decided that this was a void to be filled. So in April of 2008, we started Nani?Wear, dedicated to bringing Functional Fandom Funnies to anime fans everywhere with a selection of buttons, t-shirts, keychains, hats, bags, and more. However, we have reached the limit of our current equipment, and need your help!

The Impact

We wish to continue to bring fun and affordable merchandise targeted specifically to anime fans. With more color, more designs and an expanded line-up. We are currently looking at adding multiple colors to shirts, hoodies, messenger bags, glasses and mugs, as well as continue to expand our newly-created Kawaii brand of baby & toddler clothes for the next generation of anime fans.

What We Need

A serious upgrade in equipment. Most of our product is literally done by hand and there are limits to what we can do this way. We need equipment, such as a multi-color silkscreen press, drying equipment and more screens, on top of more supplies and merchandise. Our goal is what we estimate to cover these upgrades and be able to expand to our fullest potential. Any amount we get will be put toward this end result, even if we don't meet the goal. Every bit will help!

What You Get

Outside of the perks we are offering for donating:

- It will mean that we will be able to continue offering our merchandise at reasonable prices.

- It will also mean that we can continue using environmentally-friendly water-based inks in our products rather than having to hand it over to other printers who use plastic-based inks.

- It means a greater selection of merchandise to choose from. It is an investment in the future!
