Mix Tape 1994

The design philosophy behind this piece is tactile nostalgia, celebrating the physical artifacts of a pre-digital world. By centering a vibrant, candy-pink cassette labeled “Mix Tape 1994,” the design connects with the emotion of curated memory—the era when sharing music was a deliberate, manual act of affection and effort. The soft pastel blues and pinks contrast sharply against the deep black fabric, mimicking the neon-soaked aesthetics of the mid-90s. It is a tribute to the “lo-fi” reality that Chaarbaak champions, reminding us that the most meaningful experiences are often those we can hold in our hands, rewind, and play back. This tee is for the old souls and the retro-futurists who find more soul in a magnetic tape than a digital stream.
