Tiqvah Bottle Green

תִקְוָה

tiq·vah

noun. 

There is a kind of hope that asks you to be certain.

And then there is tiqvah.

The kind you hold onto when you don't have much evidence to hold onto. When things are uncertain. When the answer hasn't come yet. When all you can do is keep going, and trust that the story isn't finished.

Hope is not always loud. Sometimes it is simply choosing to believe again.

This word is a reminder of that.

Not that everything will always be easy. Not that we know what comes next. Just that there is still something worth holding onto.

The garment

A unisex crewneck sweatshirt in deep forest green, made from 100% brushed cotton fleece. Locally produced and sourced in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Hebrew word tiqvah is embroidered onto the front — carefully, simply, and made to last.

The fit

Designed to be worn oversized and relaxed. The fit is unisex, with enough room to make it comfortable without losing its shape.

Take your usual size for an oversized fit. Size down for something a little more fitted, or size up for a more generous, layered look.

Please refer to the measurement chart for exact garment measurements.

Why it matters

Sopher Simlah exists to make something useful out of something we love.

Every purchase contributes towards adult education and creates opportunities for people who are still becoming — still learning, still building, still finding their way.

So when you wear this word, you carry more than a piece of clothing.

You carry a little hope with you.
