BAISIKELI V.2 Men’s T-shirt, Dark Green
BAISIKELI V.2 Men’s T-shirt, Dark Green
100% organically grown cotton from Tanzania
Made and printed in Kenya
Is it a bicycle, a balance bike or perhaps a motorbike? We’re not sure, but we thought BAISIKELI (bicycle in Kiswahili) was the loveliest name for this little work of art, the original drawing of which, dating from 2018, measures just under 2 cm. The drawing was created following a school trip organised by the ‘Songa Mbele Na Masomo’ Children’s Centre to Nairobi’s most beautiful urban forest – the Karura Forest. After the trip, the pupils at this full-time residential centre for children with special needs drew what they had enjoyed most, and some of the children were clearly particularly fascinated by the bustling streets with their countless different modes of transport, such as buses, motorbikes and cars.
Proceeds from the sale of this T-shirt and other designs created at the ‘Songa Mbele Na Masomo’ Children’s Centre were used to build a new wall around the school playground and construct paths that separate the centre from the neighbouring slum and make the playground accessible all year round, even for children in wheelchairs.

An invigorating ginger tea based on green tea, enhanced with mint and rosemary – containing natural caffeine.This tea speciality from Kazi Yetu offers a fresh, new take on a classic ginger tea! The addition of mint leaves and rosemary to hand-grated ginger and green tea creates a light, balanced blend whose flavours never cease to surprise.
Black tea from the foothills of Kilimanjaro, blended with cocoa husks from Arusha and coconut flakes from Zanzibar. This forms the basis for this aromatic tea, whose flavour is reminiscent of mild, dark chocolate. Cocoa husks naturally contain a small amount of theobromine, a substance related to caffeine – though only in low concentrations.

The little monkey NYANI leaps out of a fabric pouch made from traditional kitenge fabric, which stands in stark contrast to the T-shirt. The NYANI motif was first created back in 2014 during a natural history lesson at a school in Tanzania, whilst the animals of the Serengeti were being discussed. This motif is a permanent feature of our collection, even though the design of the breast pocket changes from time to time.
