In the mockup, you can see a small image of an ancient Persian Gabbeh.
This unique T-shirt features a bold, geometric design inspired by an antique Gabbeh — a tribal rug handwoven in the Fars Province of southwest Persia (modern-day Iran). Each Gabbeh is a spontaneous creation of imagination and memory, crafted without blueprints in a technique known as Zehni Bafi (“mentally woven”). These living patterns are not mere decorations but deeply personal expressions of culture, history, and spiritual belief, passed down through generations of Qashqai women weavers.The design commands attention through its rhythmic repetition and geometric abstraction. Larger, angular avian figures — resembling stylized roosters — alternate with rows of smaller, horned quadrupeds, forming a captivating visual dialogue. Symmetrical yet alive with motion, the pattern embodies a rare harmony: a structured chaos that transforms the shirt into a wearable fragment of textile history. It’s not just a print — it’s a piece of living geometry from the Persian plateau. Every motif within this composition carries a layer of ancient symbolism rooted in Qashqai tribal culture.

The Stylized Avians (Birds / Roosters):
These angular birds symbolize hope, renewal, and spiritual awakening. The rooster — herald of dawn — represents the start of a prosperous day. Its geometric abstraction speaks to the timeless Persian art of simplifying nature into sacred form.

The Sacred Quadrupeds (Goats & Rams):
The smaller, repeating horned figures are ancient talismans symbolizing fertility, abundance, and strength. As protectors of nomadic life, they embody the rhythm of migration and serve as guardians against the evil eye (Nazar). The repetition of their form mirrors the enduring cycles of nature and life on the move.
Our mission is to bridge ancient Persian textile art with modern streetwear aesthetics.
