Ilhabela is a beach, but it's not just a beach. Those who venture up into the forest will find Cachoeira do Gato, the island's highest waterfall, at about 80 meters. That's where the name (and the print) of the Serra Sweatshirt comes from.
It makes sense: the piece's tagline is "where the mountains meet the sea," and there's no place that better summarizes this than a waterfall that originates high up in the dense forest and flows down almost to the coast. Mountains on one side, sea on the other, both on the same island.
The print on the back of the sweatshirt is a design in the style of an old stamp: the waterfall's name, the location engraved below, and a script signature. It's not an invented illustration. It's a real place that you can visit, with a real name and height.
If you live in Ilhabela or have visited, it's worth asking locals who know the island for the best way to get there. And if you ever go wearing the Serra Sweatshirt, send us a photo. That's exactly what it's for.
