The “Pax Cultura” t-shirt was inspired by a pact that was created in 1935 to protect three vital circles of culture in times of war and threat - Art, History and Science. Idioma's simple design celebrates the importance of these three elements in our daily lives - in this simple black organic tee you can celebrate what these three things mean to you.
Idioma, derives its name from the Spanish for language. Phrases from around the world focusing on freedom, exploration and nature adorn Idioma’s collection and are accompanied by playful illustrations.

Idioma's sourcing agent visits the factories producing their t-shirts frequently to follow up on corrective action plans from Fair Wear Foundation audit reports. Gradually increasing wages and reducing overtime are issues included in the discussions though they remain challenges to the factories.
