About us

From a gluten free café to a global community

It all started with a t-shirt. Well, actually, it started with Arianna and Nikos - partners in life, business, and with a shared passion for making the gluten free world a little more fun.

Arianna, an Italian former digital nomad turned Greek expat, has been navigating the gluten free life for over a decade. But that never stopped her from traveling, exploring, and proving that being gluten free doesn’t mean missing out.

Nikos, a born-and-raised Greek, had never even heard of gluten until he met Arianna. That changed quickly.

Their journey led them to Rhodes, Greece, where they opened Rhodes Gluten Free - the first and only 100% gluten free café on the island. It was there that an unexpected trend began: customers kept asking if they could buy the t-shirt they wore as their uniform - one that simply said "This t-shirt is gluten free".

That’s when the idea for Gluten Free Tribe was born.

More than gluten free merch: a movement

We created Gluten Free Tribe for everyone who wants to wear their gluten free pride loud and bold. Whether you’re celiac, gluten intolerant, or just part of the support crew, we believe in:

✅ Representation: because the gluten free community deserves to be seen.
✅ Connection: because being gluten free can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to.
✅ Humor & Positivity: because laughing about our struggles makes them easier.
✅ Style with purpose: because why should we settle for boring?

What started as a café uniform has become a global community. 

Join us, wear your gluten free pride, and show the world that we are loud, proud and gluten free!

 

Pssst, do you want to know what's funny enough?
Nikos is now figuring out if he’s gluten intolerant too. 
Life works in mysterious ways!
