Here in Southern Rhode Island, where the ocean breeze smells faintly like cotton and chaos, there’s a secret crew that powers the heart and soul of Taylor Made Tie-Dye — and none of them are normal (thankfully).
They’re not just employees. They’re creatures of color. Mischief-makers. Bucket-wearers. Chainsaw-users. Magical mail carriers. And above all, they believe in one thing:
💬 “Every swirl has a story.”
Meet the team:
🐻 The Bear (aka Buckethead)
You’ve seen him in pictures: serious face, bucket on his head (but never over his eyes). He’s the one swirling the dyes with brute strength and dramatic flair. When things go wrong in the dye lab, the bear blames gravity, humidity, and Mercury in retrograde.
🔧 Job: Chief Swirler of Swirls
🍩 Perk: Paid in donuts
🗯️ Quote: “I was born to blend colors and break washing machines.”
👻 The Ghost of Tie-Dye Past
Some say he’s a former hippie. Others say he is the spirit of tie-dye itself. Either way, he drifts through the warehouse, humming Woodstock tunes and occasionally whispering secrets to the clothing racks. If your hoodie feels “extra vintage,” now you know why.
🕯️ Job: Quality Control & Vibes
🎸 Perk: Free incense
🗯️ Quote: “Everything was better in 1969, even socks.”
🧚♀️ The Fairy Bears
Tiny. Glowing. Unpredictable. These mischievous bears zip around the shop sprinkling glitter, hiding notes in pockets, and “accidentally” mixing two shirts into one limited-edition mega-swirl. Nobody’s quite sure how many there are. They just… appear.
✨ Job: Design Mayhem Specialists
🧁 Perk: Payment in cupcakes
🗯️ Quote: “Oops! Did we dye your pants too? You’re welcome!”
🐿️ The Squirrel
Never hired. Never fired. But always there.
The squirrel lives in the back room and photobombs nearly every product shot. Some claim he’s the brains behind the marketing strategy. Others think he just likes the snacks.
📸 Job: Background Chaos Consultant
🌰 Perk: Unlimited trail mix
🗯️ Quote: [squeaky chittering intensifies]
🦫 The Chainsaw Beaver
He showed up one day in a tie-dye tank top and started building a dam out of shipping boxes. The team never stopped him. Why? Because the beaver cuts faster, works harder, and somehow got smarter the moment he put on his Taylor Made Tie-Dye shirt.
🪚 Job: Warehouse Architect & Box Cutter Extraordinaire
🚫 Perk: Chainsaw privileges revoked (twice)
🗯️ Quote: “I’m not just a beaver. I’m an artist.”
🦉 The Owl in the Sky
Every morning, the owl hoots three times from the rooftop. That’s how we know it’s a good dye day. The owl sees all. Especially when someone forgets to pack a sticker with an order.
👀 Job: Spiritual Overseer of Shipping
📦 Perk: 360° view of Southern Rhode Island
🗯️ Quote: “Whooooooo didn’t include the thank-you card?!”
