Behind the Scenes of T-Greeks

T-Greeks is a brand that was envisioned from Rafaela and her mother Jacqueline. Although those two women are Brazilians in nativity, they are Greeks in their heart. Rafaela was born in Rio de Janeiro, who moved back to Greece with her family when she was seven years old. Following her studies in journalism and her job experience in fashion journalism, she decided to acquire a Master degree in Fashion Marketing. The idea of T-Greeks arrived just in time when she decided to create something of her own. The passion of Rafaela and Jacqueline for Greece was the driving force behind the idea of creating T-Greeks! And as Rafaela says “…T-Greeks were created to become the coolest souvenir for those who visit Greece just once, those who come and go, but also for those who spend a lifetime in it … all sharing the same feeling for this place… Love! Cause you might not be born in Greece, but it doesn’t take you long to fall in love with it! Our goal is to spread the wonderful, perplex and unique Greek culture to the whole world. How? Picturing and printing the feelings, the images, the moments, the words, the beauty and its funny stuff on a simple and classic white t-shirt…” Although Rafaela might not be native Greek, she believes that the Greeks are people who only “travel” with the heart, hence the famous Greek hospitality. She believes that whoever visits Greece will fall in love with this country, and Greece in return of course . In these occasions, love is pervasive in its energy and Rafaela considers that one can only understand this indescribable feeling when his journey to Greece will come to an end until the next time; because there will always be a next time!

“… The story behind the name is actually a quite funny story. One day, I was with my best friends and I announced them that I was going to launch a company out of the blue! I told them that the company would deal with t-shirts for Greece. So, we started to brainstorm for the ideal name. All of a sudden, someone shouted T-Greeks. And this was the moment that I thought, well of course, the T-Greeks…!” Rafaela Moura Torres

The Aspirations & Desires of T-Greeks

The main aim of Jacqueline and Rafaela is to showcase the authenticity of the Greek culture through an original collection of shirts, bags and hats. According to Rafaela, people must embrace all the Greek products, even if these belong to fashion and apparel. She believes that T-Greeks act as her own step to the project of rebranding Greece. Rafaela and her mother Jacqueline consider that Greece is a country with countless beauties, a hidden paradise that must be discovered; both of them want to showcase Greece from their own perspective.

All their products are 100% designed in Greece with passion and care, making them the most fashionably original Greek t-shirts.

The Designs of T-Greeks

T-Greeks, aka Jacqueline and Rafaela, brainstormed to find the most suitable illustrations for T-Greeks. And so they did! Rafaela and Jacqueline wanted to depict the feelings and the emotions emitted from Greece. These elements that they decided to use, from the sea urchin, the yogurt and the octopus to the GS Tower, the hat, the fishhook and the dictionary, bring to your mind the Greek summer. Hara, the graphic designer of T-Greeks, is the person who brought to life their ideas. The motifs of T-Greeks are the true spirit of the Greek summer!

The Screen Printing Techniques of T-Greeks

These distinctive and unique t-shirts, the T-Greeks, have a special element that only a few people know. All the t-shirts are produced in one of the oldest screen-printing factories of Athens. Mr Zinos, the owner of the screen-printing factory, has showed to Rafaela all the mysteries behind the magic of printing. Screen-printing is a wonderful technique, not widely used nowadays due to its high costs, whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto the t-shirts, the hats and the bags of T-Greeks. Although it is one of the techniques being lost in time, Rafaela confessed to us that she wants to create t-shirts that will stay intact from the passage of time.

 

The 2015 Collection of T-Greeks

The first collection of T-Greeks was launched through 16 different motifs and symbols of the Greek summer showcasing the authenticity of the Greek culture through minimalistic illustrations and positive statements.
