About
Artwear built around restraint.
DO NOT TOUCH sits between clothing and artwork. We make oversized, heavyweight tees with quiet fronts and considered artwork on the back. Pieces built to be noticed slowly, not shouted about.
The brand
Made to tempt, not shout.
The brand runs on tension: the urge to touch the texture, the discipline not to over-design, and the belief that a T-shirt can carry real artwork without becoming loud.
Every release starts as an image or a visual idea, then gets treated like an object. Framed, placed, scaled, and printed onto a 250 GSM combed heavyweight blank with structure and clean drape.
We work from Cape Town, South Africa. Pieces are made in limited runs and printed per order, so the focus stays on intent rather than bulk stock.
Alongside the founding release, our DJ series turns designs from the artists we work with into wearable pieces, with 10% of every sale going back to the artist. Same standard. Same blank. A different hand behind the artwork.
Considered. Textured. Made to tempt, not shout.
