The Story

    I wanted to create an online e-commerce retail shopping experience. This was to be a lifestyle website. But what would that look like? Well first I had to come up with concept and a name. T-shirts is where  the concept started, then the idea of incorporating artisan products. Hand crafted sustainable and beautifully items was next. I needed a name which came from an old sign I had for years of a Laundromat from the 1950’s . “The speed queen Laundry Arcade” which back in the day laundromat’s had arcade games to play while killing time between loads. Laundry being the T-shirts and Arcade is everything else on the website.

    Everything on the website has been handcrafted and curated for your perusal. There's nothing on this website I would not wear myself. That is the benchmark my friend. I hope you come at fine what you're looking for and if you have any questions I'm at your disposal. This is truly been a labor of love I hope you enjoy the website.
