Lawrence, Massachusetts, is known as the “City of Immigrants.” From European textile workers in the 1800s to the large Dominican community arriving in the 1980s, today over 80% of Lawrence is Latino, making it New England’s first minority-majority city.
The De La Isla Souvenir T-Shirt is a collab project with my brother @armanialxndr , the design was inspired by our shared love of collecting vintage souvenir tees from around the world. 🌎 We started this idea in April 2024, and over a year later, we have our final draft-- commemorating DISLA’s upcoming 2026 collection.
This piece celebrates cultural pride and honors the immigrant stories of our parents and the many families who make up our community in Lawrence.
Immigrants are what make America great. ❤️

DE LA ISLA Souvenir T-Shirt 🌴✈️🇩🇴
Designed with my brother @armanialxndr
In early 2024, I came across an old souvenir tee I’ve loved for years and immediately called him. Within the hour, he surprised me with a first draft of what this could be. We kept growing the idea over the course of a year, pulling from the souvenir tees we grew up collecting, memory by memory. This is just a soft launch, but the beginning of something much bigger.
