This just might be the softest and most comfortable women's t-shirt you'll ever own. Combine the relaxed fit and smooth fabric of this tee with jeans to create an effortless every-day outfit, or dress it up with a jacket and dress pants for a business casual look.

This couple is Asase Yaa and Nyame the married deities of the Bono people of Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire.
Nyame was worshipped as the sky god and creator of the universe. He was seen as omniscient and omnipresent.
Asase Yaa was worshipped as the earth goddess of fertility, the upholder of truth, and the creator goddess who came to fetch Bono people's souls to the otherworld at the time of death. She was credited as being the nurturer of the earth and was considered to provide sustenance for all. She was the mother of Anansi the trickster spider god. Just as with the fables of Anansi, worship of Asase Yaa travelled with slaves to the plantations of Jamaica.
Her “Adinkra” symbol is mounted on her crown.
With this piece I tried to show the emotional bond between the couple while making them both as elemental as possible. They might be very powerful deities, but here it’s just a guy whispering a (probably raunchy) joke to his girl.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
