Hidden Gems: Meet Ariana Noelle of T-Shirts Lab

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ariana Noelle.

Hi Ariana, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Throughout the pandemic, everyone was home. It gave all of us time to think, reflect, change, and create. Jobs were now “work from home,” or in other words, remote. I decided, why not push an online custom apparel business? After all, everyone is doing online shopping nowadays. So I did; I started T-Shirts Lab at 17, right after graduating high school (Class of 2020). Now, at almost 19 years of age, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Just like any other business, it hasn’t been 100% of a smooth road, but that’s the beauty of it. With my mess-ups, I’ve learned how to do better. Coming into the business world at 17 with no work experience was the most difficult part of it all, but that is exactly what taught me how to be a business owner. I took it upon myself to run with this business and succeeded in it. Even with the downfalls, and sometimes frustration, I have allowed it to teach me instead of breaking me.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Here at T-Shirts Lab, we specialize in custom apparel for all, at some of the best prices in town. From masks to hoodies, totes, and more, we do it all.

Not only do we specialize in custom apparel, but our team is outstandingly creative and we put out our own pre-made collection for each season.

Brand wise, I’m very proud of our quality. We do not use anything other than 100% organic cotton. Anyone who’s worn our brand has always complemented the material.

Our brand goes far and beyond to make sure our customers have the best apparel & customer service experience. We also work alongside a few companies as their business apparel vendors, as well as churches. With our price ranges being so affordable compared to many other custom apparel businesses in the area, it’s a way of giving back to our community. Not to mention, a great percentage of our income goes back to our community, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Consistency & Quality
