Descendant produce beautiful organic cotton and bamboo tees which are designed by creative director Sam, who is very fussy about the cut and printing of his items. The tees are all printed using non-plastic eco happy water based inks which has proven to be a challenge for the printer because of the detail and fineness of the prints. The result is fine garments with extraordinary prints with a subtle soft hand.

A Love Supreme is an ethical and sustainable movement with a print focus. Hand printed on sweat shop free organic cotton with non-toxic water based inks that are safe for the wearer and the printer.
The first collection from this in-house project is based on classic artists from jazz and soul, from Prince Tui Teka to Stevie Wonder. The great thing about these t-shirts is the print is so soft, you can’t feel the ink… something i hate about plastisol is the plastic heavy feel, not to mention the toxicity in the ink.
