Tico Talk

Things Costa Ricans actually say.

Tico Talk turns the phrases, slang and everyday expressions of Costa Rica into original wearable artwork.

From Manda Huevo and A Cachete to Al Suave, En Todas and Diay Mae, these are the words that give conversations here their flavor. Some translate neatly. Others absolutely do not. That’s part of the charm.

Designed in Costa Rica for locals, travelers, honorary Ticos and anyone who has ever learned that Pura Vida is only the beginning.

Local language. Original art. No translation required.
