Swish Embassy at a Glance

Swish Embassy is a global fashion brand built on creativity, pride, and thoughtful design, combining bold expression with intentional production.

Founded
Founded in 2009 in a Toronto spare bedroom, Swish Embassy began with hand-pressed graphic tees, a small press, and a distinct point of view. What started as a side project grew into a full-time independent brand.
Globally Made
Products are made at facilities across the USA, Canada, Mexico, the UK, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and China. Orders are routed to the most appropriate facility to balance quality, speed, and efficiency.
LGBTQ+ Owned
Proudly LGBTQ+ owned and operated, with queer voices represented across leadership, creative collaborators, and the artists whose work defines the brand.
Worldwide Reach
Swish Embassy serves customers in 20+ countries and works with 30+ independent retailers worldwide through both direct and wholesale channels.
Proven Scale
Tens of thousands of garments have been produced and worn globally, reflecting steady, sustainable growth over more than a decade.
Exceptional Variety
With hundreds of original designs offered across multiple garment types, colors, and sizes, Swish Embassy supports hundreds of thousands of unique made-to-order combinations rather than mass-produced inventory.
Based in Toronto
Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Swish Embassy remains proudly independent, with creative direction and brand strategy led in-house.

"Wear a conversation piece"

More than a slogan, this is our reason for being. At Swish Embassy, we create tees and apparel that are fun, witty, and just a little naughty, because your outfit should do more than look good. It should start conversations.

Picture this: you walk into a room and your shirt does the introducing. In a world of swipes and likes, we are here to bring back that simple, human moment of connection, face to face.

Our inspiration comes from everywhere. We draw from pop culture and queer culture, current events, and entertainment in all forms, from classic films to whatever is lighting up the internet right now.

So the next time you head out, let your Swish Embassy tee be your wingman. You never know what conversations, connections, or sparks it might create.
🌟 The Swish Embassy Story 🌈

Swish Embassy began in 2009 after a series of trips to places like Provincetown, Fort Lauderdale, and Puerto Vallarta. While the nightlife and culture were electric, the shopping options told a different story. Too many graphic tees felt generic, poorly made, or disconnected from the community they were meant to represent.

Convinced there was room to do better, Dean founded Swish Embassy in a Toronto spare bedroom, hand-pressing shirts with sharper wit, better fit, and a clearer point of view. What started as a small experiment quickly grew into something much larger, spreading from one room to the next and gaining a devoted following.

By 2010, demand had outpaced the original setup. Swish Embassy paused to rethink how to grow responsibly while staying true to its creative roots.

In 2015, the brand relaunched with a renewed focus on scalability, quality, and cultural relevance. Production moved to professional facilities, allowing faster fulfillment and more consistent quality while keeping designs timely and expressive. When SwishEmbassy.com relaunched in September 2015, the collection began with just 25 products, including a few early favorites.

Growth accelerated quickly. Within a year, Swish Embassy expanded to tens of thousands of possible product combinations, shipping worldwide and reaching customers far beyond its original audience.

Today, Swish Embassy offers hundreds of designs across garments, colors, and sizes, resulting in hundreds of thousands of made-to-order combinations. Production and fulfillment now span the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and China, with localized storefronts serving customers globally.

What began as a simple challenge has become a global, independent brand built on creativity, pride, and connection. Thank you for being part of the journey. 💖
