Border collie routine tee with coffee cups and striped retro backdrop, for early mornings with your dog.
The story behind this design
A black tee capturing the real rhythm of a border collie owner's day. The design uses a retro horizontal-stripe background in white, creating a vintage aesthetic. Center stage sits a black-and-white border collie, alert and content, framed by two steaming coffee cups on either side. Above in white stencil lettering reads 'First I Drink Coffee' and below, 'Then I Play With My Border Collie.' The styling evokes 1970s minimalism—clean lines, limited color, that nostalgic sunburst-style backdrop. It's honest and knowing, acknowledging the caffeine-fueled mornings that come with an active, intelligent dog. The design feels lived-in, like a shared secret between dog lovers who know the morning routine.
Who it's for
Border collie owners and active dog people who start every day with purpose and coffee. Gift it to someone known for early morning dog training sessions, weekend adventures with their collie, or anyone who pairs their love of dogs with a love of retro style. Speaks to people who live with high-energy breeds and appreciate design that feels genuine and a little vintage.
