"Amazingly, the tees aren't some ~fancy~ designer creation but instead the brainchild of 18-year old Neta Yam and her brother, 20-year-old Elad.

Instagram was their main inspiration and where they posted themselves wearing their creations. People LOVED them. So much so that the team launched an online store, selling their first few products, the Oversized Black Tee and Oversized Black Sweatshirt — a playoff LBDs." |
