BERMUDA shop in Hamilton is like being inside a rainbow. The TABS Bermuda shorts in more than 30 island-inspired hues line the walls at this cheery store with a cacophony of colours. Now, before you even enter TABS’s Hamilton shop, you can catch a glimpse of what’s in store thanks to a mural painted by local artist Alshanté Foggo. The mural is a life-sized representation of a TABS Bermuda print that was inspired by the Bermuda

Botanical Gardens. The TABS-Alshanté partnership is a natural pairing. Alshanté’s works are bold and bright, and many of the colours she chooses are represented in TABS’s Bermuda shorts collection. Alshanté’s mural just outside the entrance to the Hamilton store includes the TABS Bermuda logo and makes for perfect selfie scenery.

“We want to give our customers that summer feeling when they walk through our doors and to take away a lasting impression of the vibrant colours both TABS and Bermuda are so famous for,” says TABS Bermuda owner and designer Rebecca Singleton. “We are excited to be working with Alshanté, as her art helps to embody the feelings we want people to take away with them.”

TABS Bermuda is known for showcasing and collaborating with local artists, whose creations shine brightly on men’s ties, swim shorts, women’s shorts, kids’ swim trunks, blankets, beach towels, and much more.

“I love creating art that evokes positive emotions, something that makes you feel happy and livens up your day,” says Alshanté. “This mural, like the TABS Bermuda brand, uses bright colours that will put people in a happy mood and encourage them to feel lively and free.” beautiful commemorative coins.
