The line

Four words. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Every hoodie in the MAÑANA line has one word you might know from a Spanish holiday, next to the word your Moroccan neighbour would use. Same price, same quality, a different story.

POCO A POCO.
شوية شوية
Take it easy. Little by little.

In Spain they say poco a poco, in Morocco shwiya shwiya. An old man walks his donkey through an alley, at his own pace.

MAÑANA.
غدا
Tomorrow. It'll be fine, just not today.

In Andalusia and in Morocco it means exactly the same. A man pours mint tea, with mañana and ghadan underneath.

PRIMERO, ATAY.
الشاي أولاً
Tea first. Then the rest.

That is how it goes in Morocco, and in Spain too, really. Two men at a small table with mint tea.

Black, burgundy, forest green, dark chocolate, navy, sand

ACEITE.
الزيت
Oil. Centuries of Andalusia in one word.

The Spanish aceite comes from the Arabic az-zayt. Hands full of fresh olives above a wicker basket.

Why Spanish and Arabic

Spain spoke Arabic for almost eight centuries. You can still hear it.

From 711 to 1492 large parts of Spain were Al-Andalus. The language stayed: thousands of Spanish words come from Arabic. Aceite from az-zayt. Azúcar from as-sukkar. Naranja from nāranj.

The MAÑANA line is about that shared language. Not a logo, not a slogan: a word that people on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar understand.

Frequently asked questions

Before you order

Which size should I take?
The fit is roomy and unisex. Take your usual size. For a loose, oversized look, go one size up.
Why does it cost € 69?
Each hoodie is printed only when you order it, on a heavy hoodie and with a large print on the back. That means no stock and no leftovers that end up being thrown away.
Is the orange available in all four designs?
Orange is new and for now only available for POCO A POCO. The other three come in black, burgundy, forest green, dark chocolate, navy and sand.
What do the Arabic words mean?
POCO A POCO: shwiya shwiya, little by little. MAÑANA: ghadan, tomorrow. PRIMERO, ATAY: ash-shay awwalan, tea first. ACEITE: az-zayt, the oil.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are shown at checkout before you pay. You can also combine a hoodie with our olive oil or spices in one order.
