Super limited edition of this whimsical, 90's style oversized t-shirt. The artwork is our first collaboration with another artist, Evie! We love how werid (yes, werid) and fun this design is, and we couldn't think of a better spot to take pics than at the fair.

Tess (founder of Chtapodi) went completely bald for the first time ever in public. She's never felt so vulnerable, and terrified what people would say or the looks she would get. But you know what? She ended the night feeling empowered, filled with love and support. She started putting art on clothing to help feel beautiful on the inside and outside and the journey from hiding in a bathroom crying 10 years ago to proudly walking around the fair is beautiful. This shirt celebrates who you are, who we all are, with our scars, warts, baldness and all. Sending you so much 🫶 with this one!

* This t is running true to size. Order whatever size you normally would for a loose/ oversized fit. 100% cotton, heavyweight feel and you'll notice the collaboration with "The One That Glitters" podcast series

The story behind my wearable art

In 2015, all of my hair fell out with my alopecia. For years I hid and cried and was embarrassed to be seen (and it took me several years to even let my husband see me bald.)

10 years later, I did the scariest thing and went to the state fair completely bald, eyebrows and all. I've never been more terrified and have my "fight or flight" instincts going haywire for hours. But you know what? I ended the night feeling totally empowered.

I was terrified people would be mean. Make comments. Say I was ugly. But you know what? None of my fears came true. People were kind and compassionate.

I never felt so vulnerable in my life, and I ended up having a night filled with love and support from my friends and having so much fun.

I started putting my art on clothing to help feel more confident, live boldly and celebrate feeling beautiful on the outside and inside. Thanks for coming on this journey with me. 🫶 - Tess
