Some of our designs are about dancefloors. These ones are about the harder days — and the slow, unglamorous work of getting through them. Five pieces, and five songs we'd hand you alongside them.
The most-asked question we get about CAD is why a t-shirt brand keeps talking about feelings. The honest answer: because most of these designs were made on the days we were trying to describe one. This thread of the catalogue exists for the people rebuilding quietly. No hustle-porn, no toxic positivity. Just company.
In Progress
The front says In Progress. The back says the part nobody warns you about: healing isn't linear. The face on the back can't see where it's going — it keeps going anyway. Some days you're better, some days you're back at day one. Both count.
Faith Over Fear
Fear is loud. Faith — not the religious kind, necessarily — is quieter, and it's the one that keeps you moving. For the days the doubt gets heavy and you take the next step anyway.
Are You Lost?
Good. The best things usually start that way. For the people who took the wrong turn and ended up exactly where they needed to be. Being lost isn't failure; sometimes it's the only honest place to start.
Pieces of Me
You're the version from three years ago, the person you're becoming, and the contradictions in between. This one's for making peace with being many things at once — that's not a flaw, it's the whole point.
Slow Burn
Not everything worth feeling arrives loudly. For the slow readers and the late bloomers — the people who warm up to something and then never let it go. Maroon, washed until it glows quietly instead of shouting.
CAD Mix 002 — In Progress
Five songs for the rebuilding days. Gentle on purpose.
Bon Iver — Holocene
“And at once I knew I was not magnificent.” Somehow the most comforting line ever written.
Frank Ocean — Godspeed
A blessing for someone who's leaving, or for the version of you that had to.
Fred again.. & The Blessed Madonna — Marea (we’ve lost dancing)
Grief and hope in the same four minutes — the best thing, said about the worst year.
Nujabes — Feather
Proof that moving forward can sound weightless.
Khruangbin — So We Won’t Forget
For the pieces of you worth keeping. Write them down so you won’t forget.
If today is a day-one day: that counts too. In progress is still progress.
