BIRDS Children’s T-shirt Midnight Blue

Product information "BIRDS Children’s T-shirt Midnight Blue"

The little birds are flying on this T-shirt, wondering how on earth they ended up here. We’re happy to help, as we were involved in the creation of the designs. For years, we’ve shared a close friendship with the small sewing workshop NYUZI in Karai, near the Lusigetti region. It is here that NYUZI founder Sarah Ambai designs our T-shirt patterns. The BIRDS design came about whilst we were working on new children’s and baby products in 2024, and Sarah’s children were drawing pictures alongside some of the seamstresses’ children.

Did you know

This T-shirt is no longer produced in this colour combination. This is because the pale yellow screen print appears slightly dull against the dark midnight blue. This is because we work exclusively with water-based screen printing inks. For the next run of the BIRDS design, we will choose a light-coloured T-shirt.
This T-shirt is therefore a clearance item and will not be produced again.

Production

Like every Kipepeo T-shirt, the BIRDS T-shirt is produced over a distance of just 600 km by owner-managed family businesses in Tanzania and Kenya: the organically grown cotton is cultivated in Singida (Tanzania) on small-scale rain-fed farms, without artificial irrigation, and is harvested by hand. In Tanzania, this cotton is knitted into a high-quality, slightly heavier jersey fabric and dyed midnight blue according to our specifications. The fabric is then transformed into a handcrafted, high-quality T-shirt in our small sewing workshop in Nairobi, where it is cut, sewn and screen-printed in three colours using water-based inks.

SERENGETI Children’s T-shirt Sky Blue
SERENGETI Children’s T-shirt Sky Blue

The Serengeti is renowned for its diverse wildlife. Particularly in the early morning hours during the dry season, many different inhabitants of the savannah make their way to the waterhole and stand shoulder to shoulder, just like on our SERENGETI T-shirt. The designs have been created since 2009 at various schools in Tanzania and Kenya and thus represent a small ‘best of’ selection of our motifs.

CRICODILE Children’s T-shirt, White
CRICODILE Children’s T-shirt, White

One of the rarest animals in Africa is the CRICODILE. Not to be confused with its (probably) closest relative, the crocodile. Don’t be fooled by its thick, cucumber-shaped body, because the CRICODILE is a nimble creature and will jump straight into your shopping basket in a flash!

TWIGA Children’s T-shirt Marsala
TWIGA Children’s T-shirt Marsala

A T-shirt design that literally stands head and shoulders above the rest. This is our TWIGA giraffe – Tanzania’s national animal. Our little Twiga was created in 2014 at a school in Arusha, Tanzania, and is as unique as every spot on a giraffe’s coat. The design came about whilst the animals of the Serengeti were being discussed in a natural history lesson. The beautiful ochre shade of the print harmonises beautifully with the Marsala T-shirt, which is reminiscent of the Tanzanian savannah.

ELEPHANT Children’s T-shirt, Dark Grey

A true classic amongst our designs is our ELEPANT – let us correct that: ELEPHANT. The spelling mistake that crept into this lovely design from 2011 was carried over directly onto the T-shirt and remains one of our most popular designs to this day. Thanks to this design (alongside others), school fees have been paid, a new kitchen block has been built and a computer room has been set up in Arusha, Tanzania, over the last few years.
