The Culture Behind The Cloth

We’re not chasing trends — we’re preserving culture.

Te-Qu was born in Chicago’s Little Village, inspired by Pilsen’s walls, and rooted in tequio, the Nahuatl word for communal work. Our mission is to uplift underrepresented street artists by transforming their work into high-quality, wearable art — crafted with integrity, collaboration, and respect.
