Africangene ‘PLEASE CALL: 419 Tee’

Drawing iconic inspiration from the Maison Margiela MM6 Black Two-Layer T-Shirt, Africangene introduces a bold and thought-provoking piece: the ‘PLEASE CALL: 419 Tee’. This graphic black t-shirt merges minimalist design with cultural commentary, offering both style and meaning.

The shirt’s front features a set of “contact” numbers, yet the circled digits 4, 1, and 9 cleverly highlight the infamous “419” — a nod to the notorious Nigerian scammer culture that has become globally recognized. This tongue-in-cheek design pays homage to Nigeria’s resilience in crafting cultural narratives, turning a controversial stereotype into a bold fashion statement.

• Premium Construction: 100% soft cotton for a comfortable, oversized fit.

• Striking Graphic: Crisp white typography contrasted against the black base for visual impact.

• Cultural Edge: A subtle, yet direct reference to the global legacy of Nigerian 419 scams, repurposing the narrative into a piece of wearable art.

• Maison Margiela Influence: Inspired by iconic layering and number-focused branding seen in the MM6 aesthetic, this tee nods to luxury fashion while maintaining Africangene’s signature rawness.

Perfect for streetwear enthusiasts and cultural commentators, the PLEASE CALL: 419 Tee serves as both a conversation starter and a standout piece in your wardrobe. Wear it loud, wear it proud — redefining the narrative, one number at a time.
