Comuna 13 Elephant Tee by Una Chimba®
The Comuna 13 elephant tee centers on a bold, colorful elephant rendered in psychedelic detail, with the iconic “13” woven into its markings. It’s a love letter to one of Comuna 13’s most recognizable mural symbols, printed on heavyweight garment-dyed cotton.
In the barrio’s street art, the elephant carries a clear meaning: memory. The saying goes, an elephant never forgets. As a result, the symbol honors those lost in the conflict, and the community’s refusal to let the past be erased. This tee carries that weight in a way you can wear every day.
The fabric is ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed after construction. Furthermore, that means it drapes with a lived-in softness from the first wear, with subtle color variations that make each piece feel one of one. Relaxed fit, built for layering and daily rotation.
This is paisa pride and Comuna 13 memory worn out loud. The Comuna 13 elephant tee by Una Chimba® ships worldwide.

The story of the Comuna 13 elephant tee
The Comuna 13 elephant tee is a psychedelic celebration of resilience, memory, and the wild spirit of Medellín’s most famous neighborhood. The elephant — a symbol of memory, wisdom, and strength across many cultures — is reimagined here through the lens of barrio street art: vivid, layered with detail, and surrounded by the “13” that defines everything. When you wear this Comuna 13 elephant tee, you carry all of that symbolism with you.
In the murals of San Javier, animals often appear as stand-ins for the community’s collective character — strong, adaptable, unbreakable. This Comuna 13 elephant tee honors that tradition with a design that commands attention and rewards a closer look. Every detail of the psychedelic illustration connects back to the colors, textures, and energy of the barrio.
Bold design, premium comfort
This Comuna 13 elephant tee is made from heavyweight, garment-dyed 100% ring-spun US cotton. The garment-dyed finish gives each piece a naturally aged, vintage quality that pairs perfectly with the hand-crafted spirit of the design. Available in sizes S to 4XL with a relaxed fit that works for any body type.
The vibrant psychedelic design is printed with high-quality inks that stay vivid through years of washing. Wear this Comuna 13 elephant tee as a conversation starter — it tells the story of a neighborhood that chose color and creativity over fear.
