سمسمية — simsimiyya
Sesame seeds and caramelized sugar, pressed into bars, sold at the corner shop, gone before you got home. If you know the word, you know the sound it makes when it snaps, the way it sticks to your teeth, and exactly which relative always had some hidden away. Some candies are a recipe. This one is a memory.
Part of The Confessions — the things black sesame people say out loud. Our first bilingual confession: the word in its own language first, Arabic and English side by side, printed front and center on a soft (black or heather natural) unisex tee.
Every size, one price. XS through 3XL — nobody pays extra for their body.
