The Steep House: Lafayette Tea & Pastry Heather Gray Long-Sleeve T-Shirt
A heather gray long-sleeve T-shirt created for The Steep House with a detailed collection of tea, drink, floral, and pastry illustrations across the front. The finished piece uses black linework to create a clean, handcrafted design connected to the café’s Lafayette identity.
Overview
For this branded apparel piece, UNITEE developed an illustrated still life featuring a steaming teacup, bubble tea, a flower-filled bottle, a sliced pastry, and small macarons. The grouped arrangement brings several café offerings into one cohesive composition while giving the garment a warm, boutique-inspired personality.
The name “The Steep House” is positioned beneath the artwork in widely spaced uppercase lettering, with “Lafayette, Louisiana” set below as a smaller location line. The restrained typography balances the detailed illustration and keeps the restaurant name clear and easy to identify.
Results
The final long-sleeve T-shirt gave The Steep House a polished merchandise piece that celebrates both its beverage menu and pastry selection. The black ink remains crisp against the soft heather gray fabric, while the fine linework adds detail without making the composition feel crowded.
By combining menu-inspired illustrations with clear local branding, UNITEE created a versatile garment suited for café staff, seasonal merchandise, customer sales, community events, promotional campaigns, and everyday wear.
