BOTIN DIEGO: A CELEBRATION OF FOOTBALL, FASHION AND ART

TBN CLUB was launched just 6 months ago and it is a brand inspired by the passion and fanaticism of Argentine football and the world of fashion and recycling taken from Europe.

The brand was born in Buenos Aires and was created by Ana, a fashion designer by trade and Matias, a public accountant, who is also a huge football fan.

Between them, they have merged their two passions: football and fashion to create a number of unique and exciting products

We caught up with Matias to talk about TBN Club and their latest creation, ‘Botin Diego,’ a stunning ceramic piece based on Diego Maradona’s iconic Puma Boots.

THE EPICENTRE OF GREAT CELEBRATIONS

Growing up in Argentina, you are born with a love for the game. I have had the opportunity to watch games in the big stadiums in America and Europe, but what is experienced here in Argentina is very different. Nothing compares to it.

When you talk about Buenos Aires, you talk about football. The Obelisco de Buenos Aires is a national historic monument and icon of the city and it has become the epicentre of amazing celebrations, such as when Argentina won the World Cup. There is no place on earth like it when football is being celebrated.

A number of teams have their stadiums in the city, and the euphoria that is experienced every weekend when there are matches makes this city one of the capitals of the world of football.

That’s why TBN CLUB focused on bringing fans something different, bringing people new products that clubs don’t usually sell in their stores. Everything we do is about football.

BOTIN DIEGO A TRIBUTE TO MARADONA

The “Botín Diego” is a tribute to Maradona and a product made of ceramic, by an artist from Buenos Aires, which we decided to replicate as a collection piece inspired by Diego’s classic Puma Borussia boots.

We decided that the laces should look untied, just as he used them, and that every detail made by hand was as realistic as possible.

This boot can be used as a vase, to store objects or just as a Maradonian decoration for your home.

The ‘Diego Botin’ is available on our online store or by contacting us through our Instagram @tbnclub.

THE AFFECTION BETWEEN THE CITY AND DIEGO STILL EXISTS

One of our friends was due to visit Naples, so we thought what better way to celebrate launching the ‘Botin Diego’ than by having him take it on a sightseeing trip throughout a city where Maradona was so loved.

Our friend took the boot on a tour capturing images against some of Maradona’s most famous murals in the city. It really is incredible to see the affection that still exists between El Dios and Napoli.

It’s been such an interesting process putting together this product and by the end of August, we are aiming to take a unique recycling piece to Sergio Kun Agüero. So watch this space.
