Loreak Mendian - T shirt competition (Stroke)

The prize will consist of:
-A weekend in San Sebastian for two people, with a visit to our headquarters and a short surfing course (optional).
The design will be manufactured in a limited series, which will be only available in Loreak Mendian stores.

We want you to help us design a T-shirt for Loreak Mendian!

This year we carried out a series of "actions" following the theme of the stroke: the stroke of a pencil on white sheet, the stroke of a drawing made with a rope, the stroke of a black ribbon...
We want you to create a T-shirt in which the stroke plays a very important part. But in order to set some rules, we´ve decided we´re all going to work with the same materials. Get your kit in our shops or points of sale.

Your working kit consists of: a black ribbon, plus a sticker to make it look a bit "official". Use the black ribbon to draw on the T-shirt,as if it were a marker.You can draw on the front side, the backside and the sleeves. All we ask of you is a white T-shirt, your time and, above all... your talent.

The only limit we impose is the use of the aforementioned elements. Other drawing techniques such as markers, paint or sprays are forbidden here: only a black ribbon and a white T-shirt. In case you don´t have a white T-shirt, you sure will have in your wardrobe an old T-shirt with something printed over a white background. That´s perfect -just turn it over and draw on it! Once you have designed the T-shirt, take a photograph of it and send it to us. You may design as many as you like. We will upload every design we receive onto our webpage. Send your pictures to trazo@loreakmendian.com, adding your personal details and the store in which you were given your kit.

Camper vs Loreak Mendian

Basque streetwear brand Loreak Mendian and Majorcan casual shoewear manufacturers Camper have joined efforts and created a mini-collection of shoes for the summer of 2009...and logo.

Two millennial cultures get together with a common purpose to create a shoe. The result: a Nautica-style ankle boot for the guys. Somewhere between the Nautica shoe and the Indian moccasin, this shoe is a true summer staple. It's made of leather and rubber, wich makes it light and flexible. It comes in three colours to choose from: white, grey and black. The shoe has been handsewn and employs traditional Native American techniques, including protecting the foot with a leather underneath.

Also, one common logo symbolizing the fusion of two lands. Green represents the Basque origins of Loreak Mendian -the resulting colour of rain falling endlessly all through the year. Blue symbolizes the Mediterranean Sea and the colour of the creeks and beaches in the Balearic Islands, home of Camper.

The logo comes printed in the insole of each shoe. The right shoe shows Loreak Mendian's logo and the left shoe shows Camper's logo, both subtly printed. The blue and green colours that symbolize this joint venture make a shy reapperance in once of the eyelet straps; green in the left one and blue in the right one.

Two cultures and two passions together in one product!
