More than a T-shirt


Kanza transforms Arabic words, expressions and memories into wearable designs. Every piece is created to celebrate identity, culture and the feeling of home—wherever you are in the world.

Every design begins with a phrase that carries meaning beyond words.

Our Story

Kanza was created for those who carry a piece of home through words, memories, and little expressions that never really leave us.

Some words make us laugh. Some remind us of family, streets, summers, songs, and moments we thought we forgot.

We turn those words into wearable pieces — so you can carry a little piece of home wherever you go.

Behind the Word

A smiling couple at an outdoor cafe table in a historic city street, holding green bottles. The man wears a white t-shirt with black Arabic calligraphy reading 'toz 3alek w 3a ra2yak, and the woman wears a black t-shirt with red Arabic calligraphy.

Some opinions are worth listening to.

Others...

Not so much.

"طز عليك وع رأيك"

is one of those iconic Lebanese expressions that's blunt, funny, and instantly understood by anyone who grew up hearing it.

It's the perfect response to unsolicited advice, unnecessary criticism, and opinions you never asked for.

Wear the attitude.

Questions? We got you.

Do I need to speak Arabic to wear Kanza?

Absolutely not.

Some people wear Kanza because they grew up speaking Arabic.

Others wear it because someone they love does.

And some simply fall in love with the design.

What do the words on the shirts mean?

Every design has its own story.

Some are funny.

Some are nostalgic.

Some only make sense if you grew up hearing them.

And that's exactly what makes them special.

Are the shirts unisex?

Yep.

If you love the design, it's yours.

Just check the size guide and pick the fit you like best.

What if I don't understand Arabic?

That's okay.

Think of it as wearing a conversation starter.

You might even learn your first Arabic word. 😉

Can I get this design on a different garment?

In many cases, yes! If you'd love to see one of our designs on a different garment (hoodie, V-neck, sweatshirt, etc.), send us a message. If it's possible, we'll be happy to make it for you.

Will people ask me what my shirt says?

😂 Probably.

And honestly... that's part of the fun.

Where do you ship and how long does the shipping take?

Currently shipping across Canada and the USA.

Shipping times vary depending on your location. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships, so you can follow it every step of the way.

Is it printed or embroidered?

Neither! We use premium heat transfer vinyl (HTV) for a clean, durable finish that's made to be worn, washed, and loved.

What if I order the wrong size?

Check our size guide before ordering.

Still unsure?

Send us a message—we're happy to help.

What does "Toz" mean?

Nice try. 😏

Some things are better explained by a Lebanese friend.

Or by wearing the shirt and watching people's reactions.
