About the original
The Supreme x Swarovski Crystal Box Logo Tee features 1,161 Swarovski crystals hand-applied in New York City to form the box logo on a heavyweight cotton t-shirt. Released in April 2019 to mark Supreme's 25th anniversary, the tee came in three colorways and retailed for $398, making it one of the most expensive Supreme tees produced at that time. Swarovski was founded in 1895 in Wattens, Austria by Daniel Swarovski, a Bohemian-born crystal cutter who patented an electric crystal-cutting machine that allowed precision faceting at scale. The company supplies cut crystals across fashion, jewelry, and performance wear, including stage costumes for Olympic figure skating and the Vienna State Opera, and remains family-owned five generations on.
