About Irie Threads

Welcome to Irie Threads! We’re a small, family-run business based out of the beautiful landscapes of Northern Arizona. My name is Richard, and I’m not just the owner—I’m also a chef by profession. But when our daughter Irie was born, my partner Shay and I knew we wanted something more for our family than the grind of working for someone else and just scraping by.

Inspired by our little one, we decided to blend my love for art and graphic design into something tangible. Thus, AZlaserworks LLC was born, initially as a laser engraving business. As time passed, this venture organically evolved into what we are today: Irie Threads, an apparel line and brand named after our daughter Irie.

At Irie Threads, our mission is simple: to create fun, unique, and awesome clothes and accessories for anyone who embraces their weird and wonderful side. We want you to express yourself with our wearable art, and we take pride in being different from the generic, mass-produced options out there.

We might be a bit pricier, but that’s because we focus on quality. When you choose Irie Threads, you’re not just getting a product—you’re supporting a real family with a dream. Your purchase helps ensure that our children and extended family can enjoy a happy life together, rather than working tirelessly for minimal return.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Your support means the world to us and helps keep the spirit of independence and creativity alive in everything we do.

Stay weird, stay wonderful,

Richard and Shay
