April 21 marked the 10th anniversary of Prince’s death, and the late singer’s estate is not only releasing previously-unheard music, they’re also re-releasing popular merch items online through the official Prince storefront on Amazon.
Prince T-shirts have long been coveted items among vintage shoppers and the fashion set, but the Amazon shop now makes it easy to get your hands on new pieces inspired by the singer’s album covers, photoshoots and artist motifs. Amazon also has a huge collection of Prince CDs and vinyl available for sale online, including limited-edition and rare releases.
Everything is officially licensed and ships free for Prime members (not a Prime member? Get a 30-day free trial here).
From T-shirts and hoodies to baseball caps and vinyl sets, here’s a look at some of the best official Prince merch to shop online right now.
Amazon has a number of officially-licensed Prince T-shirts available for purchase online, including this one, that’s part of the Prince “Parade Collection.” Summoning the singer’s artistic flair with an instantly recognizable pose, the T-shirt is made from 100% cotton and available in sizes small to XL.
You can also pick up this official Prince logo T-shirt, which features the jagged purple mark seen on the cover of seminal albums like Purple Rain. Of course, the singer also switched logos for a brief period, going by an arrow and horn-shaped symbol as his official name from 1993 to 1999.
You can also get the Prince logo on this official sweatshirt, which features a unisex trim fit and a heavyweight cotton-blend material. We like the modern styling of the pullover sweatshirt, which has a slightly-higher collar, dropped shoulders, and reinforced, double-needle stitching at the waistband and cuffs. This piece is available in sizes small to XL but units are selling out quickly per Amazon, so we recommend adding to cart while your size is still in stock.
As someone who goes to thrift shops and flea markets every month, I can tell you that a vintage Prince Purple Rain T-shirt is one of the most prized finds (and possessions) that you can have. But if you don’t want to dig through racks and bins, you can also pick up the tee on Amazon. Even better: it’s on sale for just $12 right now and it’ll ship directly to your door.
Fans can pick up this purple hoodie as part of Prince’s official “Love Symbol Collection” online. The zip-up hoodie features the artist’s symbol on the front in white and his OG name logo (also in white) on the back.
We love this official Prince logo hat, which features the singer’s purple logo embroidered against a black background. This is a one-size-fits-all cap with a snapback closure and we like how the washed black colorway gives off a vintage-inspired look and feel. The stitching detail on the bill of the cap adds a nice stylized touch.
This long-sleeve shirt is inspired by Prince’s 1984 single, “When Doves Cry,” which was the lead single from his sixth studio album Purple Rain. The shirt is available in this broken-in heather gray colorway, with purple detailing on the chest and sleeves. Amazon has this available in sizes small to XL though quantities are selling fast with the current 12% discount online.
There are also a host of vinyl albums available at Amazon’s official Prince storefront, including this LP, which features a 2015 “Paisley Park” remastering of the Purple Rain soundtrack. More than 42 years after the film was first released in theaters, the Purple Rain soundtrack has returned to the top of Amazon’s soundtracks chart.
Amazon is also selling this 4-LP set, which includes the albums, Welcome 2 America (two discs), Prince, 1999 and The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale. It’s an easy way for new fans to get into some of the artist’s most popular releases, or for old fans to stock up on their favorite albums in vinyl form.
And while this isn’t part of the singer’s official Amazon storefront, the site is selling this Prince children’s book, which tells the story of the artist’s career through 24 full-color pages and easy-to-read text.
Part of the Little Golden Books Biography series — which has also released kid-friendly bios on Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and BTS to name a few — this book teaches little fans about Prince’s “boundary-breaking artistry, his fearless self-expression, and his enduring influence on music, fashion, and culture,” per a description online.
Amazon isn’t the only place to find official Prince merch online. You can also shop apparel, accessories and collectibles on sites like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters.
Hailed as one of the greatest musicians of all time, Prince died on April 21, 2016, in Minnesota. He was 57.
