Designed and curated by Spike. Here is New Zooland, we are not too sure if it’s a sports team or country, maybe a skate label. whatever it is we will get to the bottom of it. Spike, pictured here, is a local boy now living in London with his family and he is proud of his new tee and can’t wait to show his dad.
1. remember to photograph people in their tees
2. ask people to send in pictures of them wearing their tee wherever they are in the world…
3. upload pictures of customers in their T-shirts to blog.
I have been meaning to add some of these images for a while now. These are a few pics of some of the beautiful people that have purchased one of our customised organic tees.
If you are the proud owner of one of our tees please send a pic of you with it on and we would love to put it up on our site.
Instead of us picking the colour and size and printing a whole lot we are now offering an instore printing service. You pick your design, couloured tee and colour for the print and we print it up on the spot. It’s all non toxic water based printing and takes 5 minutes. We are working on the drive through… For a limited time. The print above is Aunty Pania in teal.
