HIPPO Women’s T-shirt, Midnight Blue

Product information "HIPPO Women’s T-shirt, Midnight Blue"

Is it a river hippo, or perhaps more of a honey cake horse? Given the broad grin on our HIPPO’s face (Kiswahili for ‘Kiboko’), this question might well spring to mind, as this little creature looks like the complete opposite of one of
Africa’s most dangerous animals. A real Happy Hippo, in other words!

Did you know

The original drawing was created in 2014 at a school in Arusha, Tanzania. The proceeds from sales were used to fund school uniforms, desks and blackboards. Our NYANI design was also created around the same time.

Production

Like every Kipepeo T-shirt, the HIPPO 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 to our specifications in a deep midnight blue. 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.

SERENGETI Children’s T-shirt, Mint Green
SERENGETI Children’s T-shirt, Mint Green

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.

BABY-TURTLE Women’s T-shirt Midnight Blue
BABY-TURTLE Women’s T-shirt Midnight Blue

Our BABY-TURTLE design was created during a perfectly ordinary school day in Watamu, Kenya, one of Africa’s oldest marine protected areas. There, the local organisation ‘Bahari Hai’ (Swahili for ‘Living Ocean’) educates schoolchildren about marine conservation projects, such as the protection of sea turtles. It was during one such school lesson that the drawing of a small sea turtle just hatching from its nest was created. By purchasing this special T-shirt, you are supporting the vital work of our partner organisation Bahari Hai in protecting these remarkable animals.
