How to be Canadian instantly!
Posted by Minphis | Filed under Non-Granted Designs, Random
I just found a funny little item the other day shopping. Unrelated to our sweaters but made me feel that this had some connection with our quirky Canadian lifestyle brand.
“Look and feel Canadian instantly!”
Life transforming breath spray!
I think many of our American friends were needing this to fit in after we won the hockey GOLD during the Olympics.
Sorry to rub it in again!
The back label states:
“You may have read about Canadians in books or watched documentaries about their country on TV, but you probably never imagined that you could be part of this alternative lifestyle……for less than the cost of a glass of beer.”
Granted sweater featured in a comic book!
Posted by Minphis | Filed under Media, Random
A unique feature was done with Granted in a comic by artist John Christmas.
The main character, Aquanaut Zero is based on the facial characteristics of one of the designers here at Granted. This story takes place deep in the waters of the ocean were there is tension with deep sea creatures. Aquanaut Zero battles against huge Octopus monsters that are taking over the base down below.
If you look carefully at some of the scenes they feature our very own Ainu Sweater . Wear one of these and feel like a super hero!
John Christmas is the Artist on BARACK THE BARBARIAN: THE FALL OF RED SARAH as well as providing cover artwork for the first issue of JERICHO: Season 3. He also provided artwork for The Pekar Project. You can see what else he’s up to here .
Here’s a factoid…

Our Nausicaa toque is inspired by a well known Japanese anime from the 80s, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It’s a post-apocalyptic film with environmentalist undertones. A must see!
