Greenville, S.C. — February 2026 — Southern Tide announced the launch of its 20th Anniversary Artist T-Shirt Series in collaboration with Greenville-based artist Katie Bolt. The limited-edition collection debuted on Sunday, February 1, 2026, alongside the release of the brand’s “20 Years of Southern Tide” shop and Spring 2026 collection.
The Katie Bolt x Southern Tide collaboration features three original, screen-printed t-shirt designs inspired by coastal landscapes and Southern heritage. Each piece reflects themes central to Southern Tide’s 20-year legacy: craftsmanship, resilience, and a deep connection to the Southeast.
The Spring 2026 capsule includes:
Trawler Boat Short Sleeve
Inspired by the working trawlers that define Southern coastal waters, this design represents strength, grit, and timeless craftsmanship.
Lighthouse Short Sleeve T-Shirt
A symbol of guidance and protection, the lighthouse artwork reflects resilience, legacy, and navigation through change.
Fishing Lines Short Sleeve T-Shirt
A tribute to anglers and the open waters of the Lowcountry, this design captures patience, precision, and the quiet thrill of the chase.
About the Collaboration
Each shirt serves as wearable art, printed on premium tees and designed to honor the coastlines and traditions that have shaped Southern Tide since its founding.
Katie Bolt, a Greenville-based artist known for her expressive brushwork and vibrant compositions, brings a distinctly Southern perspective to the collaboration. Her artwork reflects the rhythm and light of South Carolina’s coast, blending texture, color, and movement into visual storytelling.
“Growing up on South Carolina’s coast, the rhythm of the shoreline has always shaped how I see the world—and how I paint,” said Bolt. “My work is a reflection of the light, grit, and grace found in the Lowcountry. Collaborating with Southern Tide gave me the chance to translate that coastal spirit onto a new kind of canvas—one rooted in shared heritage and a deep love for the South.”
The collaboration also reinforces Southern Tide’s Greenville roots. As the brand marks 20 years of coastal influence, partnering with a fellow Upstate creative underscores its continued commitment to regional pride and authentic storytelling.
“Celebrating our 20th anniversary gave us a meaningful opportunity to return to our roots here in Greenville,” said Steven Moomjian of Southern Tide. “Katie’s art honors the coastlines, traditions, and stories that have inspired Southern Tide from the very beginning. This collaboration is a love letter to the South—and to 20 years of designing with purpose.”
The Katie Bolt x Southern Tide 20th Anniversary Artist T-Shirt Series is available as part of the Spring 2026 collection and the brand’s anniversary initiatives celebrating heritage, craftsmanship, and coastal influence.
