The design

Papel picado — 'perforated paper' — is the tissue-paper bunting strung across streets, altars and doorways for Día de los Muertos. Each sheet is hand-cut with scenes of skulls, flowers and birds. Our banner runs unbroken across the chest, so the tee reads the way the street looks during the festival.
