AR–001 / 01

Only what
stayed.

Whirling Dervish. Pakistan, 2016. An illustration transformed into something you could wear.

AR–001 / 02

Before
the image.

The fabric carries the work. The supplied close-up records its texture; the exact historical fibre composition remains unverified.

AR–001 / 03

A drawing.
A different life.

Shahjehan created the illustration. Teespirit Co. translated it through placement and screen printing, preserving space around the movement.

AR–001 / 04

The image
becomes touch.

The red hats rise from the print. The original description identifies soft velvet decoration: a tactile detail that gives the hats presence.

AR–001 / 05

The quiet
decisions.

Screen print. Stitching. Restrained branding. Teespirit Co.’s wearable interpretation is distinct from Shahjehan’s authorship of the illustration.

Made then.
Held now.

AR–001 is the first House archive record. A Canadian continuation is in development, with origin, credit and permissions kept in view.

A Note From The House

“We made this to be the first thing reached for in a quiet morning. It is not a statement, it is a habit. Wash it cold. Hang it dry. Wear it into something only yours.”
