At Caffeine & Curses, we believe that bookworms should be able to show love for their favourite
books in style. We make this possible by creating beautiful, trendy designs that rep a range of
genres and titles, many of which have been approved and officially licensed by the authors. We
hope that this serves as a platform to create a thriving, supportive bookish community.
PROLOGUE
Caffeine & Curses started as a Bookstagram account with a goal of finding like-minded people to swoon over broody villains with. Two years later, in January 2021, Caffeine & Curses apparel began. Nowadays, our aim is to create a community around the books we all love by offering stylish, sometimes edgy, often stealthy, bookish designs that are infinitely wearable.
Through these collections, our blogs, and conversations we have with you on social media, we want to recreate the feeling of going over to your friend’s house for a book club meeting: You come for the love of these books, but stay because the conversation inevitably evolves into a discussion of your hopes and dreams and that amazing thing your therapist told you last week. We love the true friendships forged in the bookish community, and we want to be one more vehicle for you to experience and find that sense of belonging. Because if we’re all running away to these fictional worlds, we may as well do it together!
We love bringing you these “if you know, you know” pieces that will stop fellow book lovers in their tracks and immediately create an awesome point of connection, but also just look super cool to anyone who doesn’t get the references. Whether you’re spending the day binge-reading the
latest release or going out to brunch with your friends, we want you to be able to wear these designs with pride and in comfort.
As always, we make a point to bring you excellent, reliable customer service as well as high-quality products that withstand multiple spins in your washing machine.
Back Story
Our founder, Tracy, is a book hoarder extraordinaire with a tendency to buy more than she can physically ever read. (To be honest, that’s true for the majority of the staff, too!) From supporting all her fav small businesses to starting one herself, Caffeine & Curses is just the beginning of her
next chapter...
She was born and raised in New Zealand and is now living in Australia with her partner Marc, their son, Mason, and two cats, Fluff and Poppy. Having this business and being able to express her love of her favourite fictional worlds, as well as continue to evolve and grow her art styles, brings her pure joy.
Seeing you love these books and the designs as much as we do is always an amazing feeling. Tracy, along with all of the C+C staff, cannot thank you enough for supporting her imagination!
