Saltwater Raised Short Sleeve Tee

Vintage-Inspired Rhode Island Coastal Apparel

Bring a little piece of Newport with you—wherever you go.

The Saltwater Raised Short Sleeve Tee is a vintage-inspired coastal essential designed to celebrate life by the water and the unmistakable charm of Newport, Rhode Island. Featuring a minimalist line-drawn illustration of a sailboat set against the iconic Newport Bridge, this tee feels nostalgic, effortless, and timeless.

Lightweight and easy to wear, it’s perfect for warm summer days, salty air, and everyday coastal living. Whether you’re walking Thames Street, heading down Ocean Drive, or dreaming of days on the water, this tee is a subtle nod to Rhode Island roots and the feeling of being raised by the sea.

Printed on a soft, garment-dyed short sleeve tee with a relaxed unisex fit, it’s designed to feel broken-in from the very first wear.

About the Design

This Saltwater Raised tee is illustrated and designed by Coastal Ave. Design, a Newport-rooted creative studio founded by a freelance graphic designer with a love for nostalgic artwork, coastal towns, and meaningful place-based design.

Each piece is created to feel personal rather than mass-produced—designed to capture the feeling of growing up by the water, not just visiting it.

This design is available here on Etsy, as well as on my website at coastalavedesign.com, where I share new releases, apparel, prints, and custom design work. I also offer freelance graphic design and illustration services for custom projects.
