Live a Tahoe Day

Our Story

A boy’s t-shirt printed with the words GO JUMP IN THE LAKE is where our story begins. When Derrek Aaron was 12 years old, he vacationed at Lake Tahoe.  He peered over the side of the boat through the clear water’s sparkling surface and he was amazed by how deep he could see fish swimming amidst the rocks on the sandy bottom. Lakes in his hometown were murky, not clean like Lake Tahoe. He bought a souvenir t-shirt featuring a figure jumping into the lake, and wore out that tee! Through college, he skied the Tahoe basin and determined he would live at the Lake one day. In 2008, he achieved his dream, and soon after, he filled pages of his sketchbook with ideas in a quest to re-create that t-shirt he adored as a youth.

Our original designs are hand printed on the best quality eco-friendly apparel using a manual press and reclaimed inks. One of the most frequent comments we hear is that the fabric is very soft. We have even gone so far as to describe one of the hoodies as a warm fuzzy blanket!

LIVE A TAHOE DAY is an expression of Derrek’s reverence for America’s most beautiful alpine lake, and his mission to encourage the escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. HIs motto is GO LIVE a Tahoe Day. Everyday. Create an experience so life enhancing that the joy of Tahoe lives inside of you for all time, wherever you go.
