Hest means ‘good’ and comes from the Spokane Nation language. Collaborating with clients who want timeless designs on quality garments is good. We are here for good collaborations.
Our inspiration
Hest Collaborations is owned and operated by Destiny and Estabon. We set out to solve a few problems we kept running into in the garment printing space. The problems we ran into were cheap garments, having to order 30 shirts at a time, limited color options, being charged fees on fees. Our goal was to offer a solution to this challenge, which led to the creation of Hest Collaborations.
Hest Collaborations only sources quality garments and operates a direct to garment printer that allows us to print one design at a time so there is no minimum order, we can print as many colors as the design calls for, and we do not have fees on fees.
“The quality of the garments are noticeable immediately. Also, you get to know the artist of each design and that makes the garment special.”
