CROCODILES Children’s T-shirt, Green

Product information "CROCODILES Children’s T-shirt, Green"

A total of three different crocodiles, drawn by three different schoolchildren from the ‘Songa Mbele na Masomo’ Children’s Centre in Nairobi, feature on our CROCODILES T-shirt. The design has been printed tone-on-tone using a large-format screen onto the vibrant green fabric, so that every part of the T-shirt is densely populated with crocodiles – just like the Mara River, which is famous for its high concentration of crocodiles.

Did you know

Our CROCODILES are true cold-blooded creatures too, as we only print this design at low room temperatures. The reason for this is that the ink in the large-format screen dries out quickly during Kenya’s warmer months, causing the print results to vary.

Production

Like every Kipepeo T-shirt, the CROCODILES 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) using small-scale rain-fed farming methods, without artificial irrigation, and is harvested by hand. In Tanzania, this cotton is knitted into a high-quality, slightly heavier jersey fabric and dyed a deep green according to our specifications. The fabric is then transformed into a T-shirt of artisanal quality in our small sewing workshop in Nairobi, where it is cut, sewn and printed by hand using water-based screen-printing inks.

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!

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

Is it a sloth or just a little monkey with excellent body control? We don’t know, but as sloths don’t live on the African continent, we’ve named the shirt NYANI (monkey in Kiswahili). With its green sleeves, the sloth-monkey on this shirt feels just as at home as it would in the treetops.

NYANI POCKET Children’s T-shirt, White
NYANI POCKET Children’s T-shirt, White

The little monkey NYANI jumps out of a fabric pouch made from traditional Kitenge fabric, which contrasts sharply with the T-shirt. The NYANI motif was first created back in 2014 during a natural history lesson at a school in Tanzania, whilst discussing the animals of the Serengeti. This motif is an integral part of our collection, even though the design of the breast pocket changes from time to time.

WANYAMA Children’s T-shirt, Charcoal Grey
WANYAMA Children’s T-shirt, Charcoal Grey

Our WANYAMA (Kiswahili for ‘animals’) T-shirt features a host of different animal inhabitants of East Africa. Zebras stand peacefully, shoulder to shoulder with rhinos and lions. It works a treat, as the animals have known each other for a very long time. All the drawings were created between 2009 and the present day at various schools in Tanzania and Kenya.
