a brief tale: ouat… a certain purple dye was created from sea and rock snails of the muricidae families. this dye became so highly valued and sought after that it epitomized power and status. fast forward thousands of years and it still holds this distinction. the people who invented and traded this tyrian purple dye came to be known as the purple people. and their imperial realm as the land of purple. 

a perspective: art is a state of mind to be deciphered:

in a bustling world. one must mobilize and focus all efforts on a single focal point to break through the noise. achieving a level of perfection that becomes a timeless reference. only then can one move on to perfecting the next endeavor. as the royal purple seeps from the laborers at the front to stain the king’s cloak at the back of the shirt. it serves as a crucial reminder of the true source of power in all hierarchical systems.

a destination: each phoenician style artshirt assigns you specifically chosen coordinates.

one of humanity's chief roe (reason-of-existence) is to explore this planet. immersing oneself in its diverse cultures and rich ecosystems. murex. is designed to support this intent initiation. to make the vast world feel like a more intimate destination.

a detail: fashioned from breathable cotton-feel polyester. pieces achieve best look when styled unbuttoned with the hem edges tucked under. can be worn over the naked upper body. over a white sports-bra. or over a blank white t-shirt.

a dimension: shirts feature an oversized fit (not regular nor slim) with sizes running large. the available sizes reflect some downsizing. (a usual "large" correlates a malkuūt. "medium". and for a more regular-fit one can downsize one more to a malkuūt. "small"). expect somewhat of a baggy feeling. allowing the summer breezes in.

a uniquity: each artshirt is made-to-order. ensuring that no two will be exactly alike.
