The beautiful hand lettering created by designer and creative director Eso Tolson captures attention in and of itself, but when the message that the letters form are just as rich, the artwork reaches a whole new realm. Eso has taken one particular message and wears it boldly on a shirt: “Embrace You Inner Memphis.” As a Memphis transplant, Eso helps show that pride is also about where you are and not just where you come from.
You can purchase these t-shirts exclusively at Stock & Belle on South Main or follow him on Instagram or Facebook to keep up with upcoming pop-up shops.

If you have a shirt, feel free to tag a photo of yourself showing your pride with #embraceyourinner, and you could be chosen to be a part of the growing collection of fans on the “embrace your inner” instagram feed, which includes some familiar faces like Moziah Bridges of Mo’s Bows. I purchased a shirt at Stock & Belle for my brother John (pictured here) to represent Memphis in Singapore.
