SPLASH

Lino printed 100% cotton unisex shirt.

SPLASH is the sound of jumping in without checking the water first. It's the moment right after the dive, right before you catch your breath. We wanted a design that moved - loose, wet, alive - so you could carry a bit of that first plunge with you wherever you go.

And to be honest Catarina wrote it down much better :) "When I think of summer, I think of diving, so the idea for the illustration came to me straight away - a splash made by a woman diving. Adapting my visual language to work on fabric using a single color was the biggest challenge. I set my usual collages aside and focused on line drawing and contrast, to create a linocut - a printmaking technique that involves carving a drawing into a linoleum plate, applying ink to the raised areas with a roller, and transferring the image by pressing the block print onto the fabric".

As always, our unisex shirts are made from 100% cotton upcycled textiles. The threads we use are 100% organic cotton. And the buttons are collected from many friends in our community.
