Toronto-based streetwear label Better Gift Shop and CBD works together on another collection of apparel designs that are designed from an artful perspective. It spotlights the works of Tim Comix, who is Marti Guerrero. He formed the character Time Comix when he was six years old growing up in Mexico City.
Tim is the name that stems from the word Shy, which is "Timido." Through his character, he tells stories of love, hopes, dreams, fear, and more. The silhouettes in the collection include t-shirts, hoodies, and a coach jacket. These are all detailed with Tim's face and an addition CDG branding details merged together. The back of the coach jacket is marked with bold colorful lettering to round it all out.
