Dterioro Yayo Shirt | White
The Yayo shirt is named after the colloquial way to call your grandfather in Spain, as well as the genderless meaning of the word, where Yayo can be used as a name for anyone. The shirt was inspired by how the old working class people in Spain have very little clothing and those garments tend to have visible signs of wear: repairs, uneven colours and imperfections from wear and tear over the years. Influenced by these origins, the Yayo shirt has neither a masculine or feminine appearance. It is wrinkled with incredible hand-sewn details, raw edges, a distressed look and unique imperfections created on purpose. Crafted in Spain to very limited production using vintage cotton and deadstock corozo buttons. Everything is sewn by hand and the sewing machine is only used for union seams. Due to the fabric being vintage, only a few shirts are produced by Dterioro at any one time and cannot be reproduced, making them incredibly special.

Dterioro creates shirts of impeccable craftsmanship using only deadstock, vintage and antique fabrics made of natural fibres. All shirts are made by the designer in Dterioro’s atelier in Madrid, Spain.
The beautiful meaning of Dterioro is "the wear and tear experienced throughout the passing of time". This can be greatly attributed to the founder’s grandmother, who worked in the textile manufacturing industry, wearing her workwear and emphasising the importance of taking care of clothing, mending and repairing it. Dterioro creates meaningful garments for the everyday - shirts to be worn constantly (and they don’t need ironing) - drawing inspiration from workwear. Everything is sewn by hand and the sewing machine is only used for union seams.
The natural dyeing process is done entirely by hand in the atelier, using a small range of products harvested by Dterioro, such as onion skins, oak galls, madder root and holm oak wood. When the garments have been dyed, instead of throwing away the dye, it used to make recycled paper for the tags used on each garment. This water is then filtered and used to water the small garden. “The zero waste philosophy is always present, not to brag about it, as for us, it is the only way possible to create.”
