BERAD T-SHIRT

Berad — the Moroccan metal teapot poured for mint tea, central to Maghrebi hospitality. Three rounds of tea mark three gestures: welcome, friendship, blessing. Each pour is a daily sacred act, repeated in kitchens and courtyards across Morocco and beyond. Pilar Olivero's photograph honors this ritual vessel — not as object alone but as the center of connection, the metal body that carries heat, sweetness, and the slow time it takes to be received by someone. Her 35mm analog archive holds homage to what happens when tea meets guest, when hospitality becomes ritual.

This tee is cut from 320g cotton — heavier than every other Aslona piece, built to last through gestures that repeat daily. Katagami stencils transfer the analog image onto fabric; hand-embroidered borders trace the print edge; trilingual screenprinted text from Pilar's notebooks layers French, Arabic, and Spanish across the garment. Three creators — Argentine, Chilean, Moroccan — working in Paris shaped cloth meant for the long pour: fabric weight matching ritual weight, love and resistance woven into cotton.

Wearing the Berad tee carries hospitality against your skin. The pastel cotton softens metal and ceremony into something intimate — a vessel of connection you move with through the city. Each time you put it on, you repeat the gesture: welcome, friendship, blessing.
