SUEDE by Ian Waelder
This edition consisted in the elaboration of a basic T-shirt which has a piece of cloth from a used skateboard shoe sewn to it.
The T-shirt pattern has been designed specifically for the edition and handcrafted in Mataró by Laura García Baena (Super Twin Project). All the fabric has been produced and dyied locally.
Each T-shirt has one piece of shoe and the location varies in every edition, making it a unique piece.
The piece of shoe can be found on the waist, arm or back neck.
You can only get to chose the color of the cloth on your order.
