The gold and diamond shirt is estimated at R $ 130,000

The celebratory piece was developed by a group from the B2B fashion market

Would you pay R$130,000 for a shirt? This is the estimated value of the T-shirt, which took 65 days to handcraft with 109 grams of gold, 17 units of brilliant-cut diamonds and an English setting.

It is a piece developed by Grupo Sallo, one of the country’s largest fashion companies focused on the B2B market, to celebrate the company’s 26th anniversary.

“We want to draw attention to our history: 26 years have passed in the company, producing high quality pieces, with a unique style, made and designed for all people,” emphasizes Marcos Antônio Alves da Silva, president of Grupo Sallo.

The garment was produced with fabric developed by Sallo with a weight of 230. For the silk, 10 layers of ink were required and the use of two screen printing screens to obtain the relief of the print. The letters on the 18k gold link, which feature an appliqué of 17 diamonds, have been secured with gold backplates and screws, all of which are removable for maintenance.

The helicopter, symbol of the brand, was cast in gold and followed the same application system as the letters. On the sleeve of the shirt, a plate with the symbol, also in 18K gold, has been applied with tacked stitching.

In January, the piece was exhibited for the first time during Fenin 2023, the largest professional meeting of the textile and clothing community in Latin America, which took place last January in Gramado-RS.

According to the president of Grupo Sallo, the idea is to present it at various events until it is auctioned off. The auction does not yet have a date to take place.
