The Rather Marvellous Shirt for Young Book Lovers

Look, we'll be honest with you: finding a shirt that actually celebrates your child's love of reading is rather harder than it ought to be. But this one does it with such splendid good humour that even the most reluctant dresser will want to slip it on. It's the sort of thing that announces to the world, without a trace of boastfulness, that there's a proper little bookworm living in your house.

Why Choose Our Boys Reading Shirt

Delightfully Stylish Design: A rather fetching photo print that captures the joy of losing oneself in a good book. Perfect for the scholar in training who refuses to compromise on style
Beautifully Made Comfort: 95 percent cotton blended with polyester means it's soft against skin, durable through countless washes, and genuinely pleasant to wear day after day
Properly Made Construction: Long sleeves and a round collar that fit just so, with patchwork and animal-letter patterns that add a touch of whimsy without veering into the ridiculous
Seasonally Versatile: Ideal for spring and autumn layering, whether over a t-shirt or under a jumper

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!

RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.

Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
