A wearable expression of harmony — designed by Shalini B Bahl, drawing on her fashion design background and an aesthetic rooted in Indian sacred art and Buddhist contemplative traditions. Where the symbol tees carry a single mark, the Mandala Tees carry an intricate pattern — a meditation made visible in cloth.
Curiosity is our ability to be genuinely interested and care, even when it's challenging. It disrupts confirmation bias — our tendency to see what we already believe — by staying open in the face of new information.
The Curiosity Mandala carries an intricate geometric pattern that rewards close looking, with the "curiosity" wordmark as a quiet anchor. On the label, a QR code links to six guided micro-practices from Shalini B Bahl, PhD.
Layered three ways: as the soft layer under a blazer, over leggings for a class, dressed up with denim and gold for dinner. The pattern rewards close looking — quiet from a distance, intricate up close.
Three ways to let this tee bring you back:
— In the morning. Scan the label, choose a micro-practice, and set your intention to approach the day with fresh questions instead of familiar answers.
— When you're convinced you're right. Shift from Why am I right? to What might I be missing?
— In difficult conversations. Listen without an agenda. Ask one more question before you respond.
