2 thoughts on “New Responsive Premium Themes for August”
Hey, this is a quite thorough list. Especially, I like Mimosa theme and I’ve seen on ThemeForest a similar one, but interesting nonetheless, called Buzz by Select Themes. What do you think about that one? Could it suffice for T-Shirt printing online store?
Hi Dylan, I found the Select Themes portfolio on Themeforest but they don’t have a theme called Buzz. I also searched among all the ecommerce themes on TF and found none called buzz either, so I can’t really comment sorry 🙂
