Imagine a T-shirt that invites a conversation, a garment that’s both a fashion statement and a bridge between cultures. Welcome to the world of PolygloTees, a delightful fusion of apparel and social experiment.
Founded by Ruben Hillar, whose father owned an apparel company in his native Argentina, PolygloTees is more than an extension of family tradition. It’s a vision, a narrative embroidered with connection, culture, and community.
PolygloTees’ uniqueness lies in its intention: to foster dialogue among people who share something, be it a language or the love for cosplay. Instead of having quotes, taglines, or graphs, these T-shirts display a simple question that invites people to engage. But the brand’s goal is not only about engaging in casual chat; it’s about broadening our own horizons and creating connections, one conversation at a time. PolygloTees serves as a vehicle for cultural exploration, an instrument that allows wearers to journey into different territories and forge chance connections with people they might never have approached otherwise.
PolygloTees are conversation starters. They help build bridges and encourage people to discover each other. Ruben’s vision and PolygloTees’ execution have turned a simple piece of clothing into a magical tool that invites you to speak, connect, and celebrate human diversity.
There are two types of connections people can make wearing PolygloTees. First, there is the language connection, either offering your language skills for others who want to practice or asking others to share their skills with you if you are learning a new language. You can also use PolygloTees to find those in your community who share your love or interest for a particular language and build relationships with them.
In addition to language, PolygloTees also help people that share other elements find each other. It does this through what Ruben calls “tribes”; groups of people that have common interests. Purposely staying away from politics and religion, the tribes are built around sports (e.g. cricket, football, track & field), lifestyle preferences (e.g. furries, drag, queer), eating habits (e.g. vegan, pescatarian), among others. These tribes are constantly growing as customers request to have their own tribes represented.
PolygloTees isn’t just about fashion; it’s mainly a social experiment, a way of bringing people together globally by learning languages, embracing differences, and celebrating cultural diversity. PolygloTees’ merchandise is about wearing a story and sharing it, making memories in the process.
“I am a natural introvert,” Ruben mentions when considering the impact that PolygloTees has had in his own ability to connect with others. “With PolygloTees I have been having the most amazing conversations with people I would have never approached otherwise”, he continues. These brief conversations happen with the ease reserved sometimes to the most extroverted of us.
Apart from their T-shirts, PolygloTees also offers comfortable sweatshirts and practical tote bags, all designed with the same ethos in mind. With whatever purchase you make, each item serves as a tool for conversation and cultural bridge-building.
In the bustling world of fashion and the curious realm of languages and tribes, PolygloTees stands out as a whimsical, inspiring, and expository venture that redefines the way we see, wear, and communicate through our clothing.
That’s the magic of PolygloTees, a brand that’s more than a name. It’s a movement, a revolution, a celebration of everything that makes us human. And it all starts with a simple question: Do you speak x?
