CloseNever lost. Just layered. The Happy Little Mother Bear Tee is the first chapter of the Lost & Found collection, an oversized vintage washed black graphic tee made for the mother who has ever wondered where she went after becoming everyone else’s home. The answer is printed right on the back: she never went anywhere.
Motherhood did not erase her. It expanded her. The wild girl, the dreamer, the artist, the woman who was collecting little pieces of herself long before anyone called her Mom. She is still here, and this tee says so out loud.
The front carries the signature Mother Bear artwork in a psychedelic, heat-map style wash of pink and green, finished with the HLM mark and Lost and Found in yellow lettering. The back is a full manifesto print that reads like a note to self, moving from chaos into pattern and from surrender into art, and ending on the line that names the whole collection: found by me.
Being found here is not about becoming someone new. It is about recognizing the woman who has been with you all along.
This is a true oversized tee with a dropped shoulder and a long, easy body. The black cotton is vintage washed for that soft, faded, already-loved look you usually have to hunt for in a thrift bin or a stack of old band tees. Where a standard graphic tee sits close and crisp, this one hangs loose, moves in the wind, and gets better the more you wear it.
XS: chest 46 in, back length 25 in
S: chest 48 in, back length 26 in
M: chest 50 in, back length 27 in
L: chest 52 in, back length 28 in
XL: chest 54 in, back length 29 in
XXL: chest 56 in, back length 30 in
The cut is intentionally roomy. Take your usual size for the slouchy look shown, or size down if you want it a little closer to the body.
Beach day: throw it over a swimsuit or crochet shorts with a trucker hat and a stack of bracelets.
Everyday: half tuck it into denim cutoffs or wide leg jeans and add boots or sneakers.
Layered: wear it over a long sleeve thermal or a slip dress, or under a kimono or denim jacket when the weather cools off.
Dressed up: knot it at the waist over a tiered maxi skirt and pile on turquoise or silver.
Off duty: pair it with bike shorts or leggings for school drop-off, road trips, and everything in between.
100% cotton. Expect some shrinkage in the dryer. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Wash separately the first time to prevent color transfer. Do not use bleach.
How does the Happy Little Mother Bear Tee fit?
It is a relaxed, oversized tee with a drop shoulder. An XS measures 46 inches at the chest and an XXL measures 56 inches, so there is plenty of room in every size.
Should I size down?
If you like the big, slouchy fit in the photos, stay with your usual size. If you prefer a less oversized look, go down one size.
Will it shrink?
It is 100% cotton, so expect some shrinkage if you put it in the dryer. Wash cold on gentle, and hang or lay flat to dry if you want to keep the original length.
What is printed on the back?
The back is a full manifesto print in yellow lettering built around the collection’s message: Never Lost, Just Layered. It closes with the words found by me.
What is the Lost & Found collection?
Lost & Found is a collection about motherhood and identity, and the idea that becoming a mother adds layers to a woman rather than replacing who she was. The Mother Bear Grunge Tee is its first chapter.
Is this a good gift for a mom?
Yes. It works well for Mother’s Day, a birthday, a new mom, or any woman in the thick of motherhood who could use the reminder that she is still herself.
