New Apparel Drop!!
⠀⠀
Proyecto “Sabor a Recao”-Sin Recao no hay Cocina Puertorriqueña (Without Culantro there is no Puerto Rican Kitchen).

This drop holds a special purpose to me because half of the profits will be sent to a trusted mutual aid called Comedores Sociales de Puerto Rico to feed families in response to Hurricane Fiona and beyond. As I am writing this, many on the island remain without power, and have lost food that needed refrigeration. Together with Wolstri & graphic designer J. Pacheco we have created this shirt for a good cause. We hope that you could contribute, but if you cannot, you could always share. Thank you 🙏🏽 Link is here:

Wolstri & Urban Pilón announce their first Collab:⠀
⠀
⠀
Proyecto Doña Juanita's Pasteles ⠀
⠀
Doña Juanita Figueroa is first generation Boricua nacida y criada en Guayama Puerto Rico barrio Borinquen. In 1954, at 19 years old her family hardship brought her to Chicago, Harrison and Ashland to be exact. Doña Juanita today is considered a pilar of what is four generations of Puerto Rican family in the diáspora. As a provider one thing that was consistent was cooking for her love ones, and pasteles were a must. One of my first vivid memories with Doña Juanita is spending time in the kitchen making pasteles. Together Wolstri and Urban Pilón will bring culture, urban contemporary art, & the Boricua culinary arts together. Project Doña Juanita’s Pasteles was born solely to benefit families with food insecurities on the island. Please be generous, and if you cannot purchase, please share.⠀
⠀
Shirts are now ready and available for shipment at Urban Pilón's website in bio and soon to be available at Wolstri's. ́n
