Tabishi is the
penguin in
your suitcase

Every phrase you find on our garments tells a story.

YES, BUT WHY?

Tabishi was created to tell you stories

Tabishi was born from a simple need: to wear something that expresses how you feel.

A garment that carries your current mood: unfiltered and free from labels.

The penguin explores alone but immediately recognizes its own. It feels the need to go even when it doesn't yet know the destination. Tabishi wasn't chosen because it's cute, but because it's a bit like each of us. It carries a surfboard with it: a symbol of life's unpredictability, the patience needed to wait for the right moment, the movement towards new discoveries, but also of staying balanced while having fun.

Tabishi imagines a world where everyone is ready to get involved, sharing a part of the journey and, above all, moments of happiness. Every encounter along the way can become an opportunity for growth: we all have experiences, we all have something to share.

Tabishi is born from the fusion of Tabi 旅 and Shi 師 — journey and master.

Because every journey teaches something, but an idea is born from mutual exchange.
The two kanji represent the essence of our clothing-travel brand: a dynamic balance that allows us to listen, like a student, or to share what we have learned on our journey through life, like a master.

Our code

Bushido was the code of conduct adopted by the Samurai.
It defined the morals of Japanese warriors, thus dictating their lifestyle.
Our Bushido aims for the same goals, but with more lightness and a touch of irony.
The phrases on our garments are born from everyday life experiences, travels, and reflections.

    What he writes

    Mattia

    A translator of moods and a street philosopher, Mattia is the pen and voice of Tabishi. His task is simple and rough: to take travel mishaps, nights that end at dawn, and life's missteps and transform them into sincere reflections, without ever taking himself too seriously. His writing rejects the polished rhetoric of marketing and speaks with the frank language of someone confronting you at a bar counter or on the seat of a sleeping bus. Sitting at a cheap and popular table, he observes the world to grasp human details, contradictions, and those small stolen moments of happiness that often escape others. He faces every obstacle with resilient irony and a liberating "Oh, really?". His pen does not live on theory or abstractions: it lives on dust, traveled roads, true friends, and the desire to say things exactly as they are.

    Michele

    Now he's thinking about it

    Michael

    Michele is the driving force, the practical one, and the inseparable travel companion. He's the one who transforms words and ideas into miles covered, serving as the perfect counterbalance between the brand's philosophical vision and the reality of travel. With a natural aptitude for the road and an innate propensity for conviviality, Michele "espouses the cause" instantly: whether it's organizing an impossible transfer, driving on uneven roads, or improvising promotions at weddings, he's always there, ready to get involved with energy and pragmatism. Driven by a visceral passion for freedom and authentic connections, he embodies the spirit of someone who never backs down from the unexpected. Unfiltered, straightforward, and always ready to pack his bags for the next destination. Michele is living proof that to truly go far, you need someone with whom to share the journey, the effort, and the beauty of the unforeseen.

    unfiltered answers

    The questions you ask us most often – with the answers you deserve.

    01

    Can I return or exchange a product?

    You have 30 days from delivery to exercise your right of withdrawal. But before ordering, take your time. Check the sizes carefully, read the description, don't buy on impulse. A conscious purchase is better for you, for us, and for the planet. We are here if you have any questions before, not just after.

    02

    Why are your products this price?

    Because we don't mass produce, we don't use low-cost materials, and we're not interested in appearing accessible. Every garment is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and is customized on demand at the time of order. It costs more to do things well, things that last. Better one garment that stays with you for three years than five t-shirts that don't survive three washes.

    03

    So you also organize group trips?

    Not for now, but we are working hard behind the scenes. We have an ambitious goal for 2026, but for now, it's best not to say too much. In the meantime, the Travel Journal is the right place to find inspiration on where to go and some tips. We write about real places, unfiltered.

    04

    What kind of materials do you use?

    100% organic cotton, GOTS and OCS certified. This is not a marketing claim; it's simply the only way we intend to operate.

    05

    How can I be sure of the quality of print-on-demand products?

    We know we're not perfect, but we work to improve ourselves every day. Before putting our garments up for sale, we carried out a series of tests to ensure that the print quality was up to standard, for us and for the entire community. If something doesn't convince you, please send us any suggestions to shop.tabishi@gmail.com: that's how we improve, through constructive criticism.
