Marie Van Brittan Brown Portrait Tee — 'Before Smart Security There Was Marie'

Before smart security, there was Marie. This tee honours Marie Van Brittan Brown, pictured beside the words “Before Smart Security There Was Marie” — a portrait tribute in rich purples and golds to the woman whose idea for a home security system came long before the technology caught up with her.

Part of the FIYRE Unsung Heroes Collection — a series celebrating remarkable individuals whose courage and contributions helped shape history but are too often overlooked. When you wear this shirt, you are not just wearing a design — you are carrying a story worth sharing, and helping keep the legacy of an Unsung Hero alive.

Printed on a dependable heavy cotton tee, it is soft, structured, and made to hold its print and shape through repeated wear — a classic fit that layers easily and carries its story well.
