From the brand: Vintage souvenir single stitch T-shirt from Naples, Florida, produced around 1989 during the rise of the area as a premier luxury destination on the Gulf Coast, closely tied to the opening era of The Ritz-Carlton Naples.
The graphic plays on the classic expression “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” a phrase synonymous with elegance and high society, here reinterpreted through a playful coastal lens. At the center, a pelican dressed in top hat and tuxedo stands against a vivid Florida sunset — a humorous symbol of the refined yet carefree lifestyle that defined Naples’ resort culture at the time.
Printed in warm coral, teal and golden tones typical of late-80s tourist graphics.
