About Vatan Collective
We document a nation older than any regime.
Vatan Collective is a diaspora platform exploring Iran’s politics, culture and identity. This is its shop.
Vatan Collective is a diaspora platform exploring Iran’s politics, culture and identity. This is its shop.
We publish on Iran — its politics, its economy, its culture — in Persian and in English, to an audience of more than 440,000. We have been doing that for years.
The shop is part of the same work, run by the same people. T-shirts, embroidered dad caps, beanies, neck gaiters and phone cases, made to order and fulfilled in North America.
The connection is not decorative. What we bring to the writing — checking the source, saying plainly where the record is thin — is what we bring to the emblems we print. Every design starts from something documented rather than something invented, and we can show our working on all of it.
A nation’s history and civilization extend far beyond the authority of any regime. That is the premise of the writing, and it is the premise of the collection.
Nothing is printed until it is bought. Each piece is made for the order rather than pulled from bulk stock, which is why sizes and colourways are never out of stock.
Production and fulfilment happen in North America. Processing takes 2–3 business days before the parcel leaves.
U.S. delivery is 4–8 business days after processing. Slight colour variation can occur between screens and fabric.
We wrote up every emblem in the collection — what is documented, and what is only repeated. Some of the findings surprised us.
"I received my shirt impressively quickly, and I was very happy with the quality of it. The material is very soft and comfortable, and the design is printed well. I would definitely purchase from this seller again."
Elaheh"A beautiful piece — even nicer in person than in the photos. Lightning fast shipping, and a pleasure to deal with. 11/10."
Jacob"Absolutely love my tee. Great communication and above-and-beyond customer service — the owner was very kind and helpful."
Jordan"I ordered one for my husband and myself. We absolutely love them and also got great compliments. Would definitely order more for gifts."
Verified buyer"Beautiful t-shirts. Fast and efficient delivery."
Farzaneh"Everything was perfect! The item was exactly as described. Shipping was quick and the seller was friendly. I will purchase again."
SimaMost of what we publish never reaches most of the people who follow us — that is how the feeds work now, and it is not something we can fix from our side. An email list is the one channel nobody sits between.
New writing and new pieces. No more than a couple of times a month, and you can leave whenever you like.
Orders are printed and fulfilled in North America. U.S. delivery takes 4–8 business days after processing. See the shipping policy for full details.
Every piece is made to order rather than held in bulk stock, so production adds 2–3 business days before the parcel leaves. It is the reason no size or colourway is ever sold out.
Yes — the terms are set out in the returns policy. If something has arrived wrong or damaged, contact us and it will be sorted.
Sizing runs S through 3XL in a unisex fit. The most reliable method is to measure a shirt you already own and like the fit of, laid flat across the chest, and match that. If you are between sizes, size up.
Wash cold and inside-out, tumble dry low, no bleach, and do not iron directly on the print. Treated that way the print holds up to regular wear. We’ve been proudly wearing ours for years.
Questions about a design, a size, or an order in progress are answered directly — there is no call centre here. Several of the reviews above mention the reply.
