NYANI Women’s T-shirt, White
NYANI Women’s T-shirt, White
100% organically grown cotton from Tanzania
Made and printed in Kenya
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 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.

Production
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 white to our specifications. It is then transformed into a
craft-quality T-shirt in our small sewing workshop in Nairobi, where it is cut to size by hand, sewn and printed using water-based screen-printing inks.

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.
An intense, rolled black tea with cinnamon bark shavings and cardamom seeds. This tea captivates with its strong character and transports you straight to a small tea room in Stone Town on the spice island of Zanzibar.

As this cat has such a wonderfully quirky look about it, we couldn’t get enough of it and printed it three times in different colours, slightly offset on top of one another. This creates a three-dimensional effect that really stands out on the Marsala-red T-shirt. The CAT design was created during a school lesson whilst discussing ‘Domestic Animals’ at a school in Nairobi, Kenya.

This little tortoise was drawn in 2016 at a small school in Arusha, Tanzania, by a pupil following a school trip to Meserani Snake Park. We can only guess exactly what sort of tortoise it is. Judging by the shell pattern in the drawing, it could be a panther tortoise, as this species is named after its panther- or leopard-like shell pattern.
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.
JIKONI means ‘kitchen’ in Kiswahili. That is why this T-shirt features lots of small drawings of kitchen utensils and food items from everyday school life in Kenya. The drawings were created in 2021 at a school in Kangundo during home economics lessons and were produced by many different pupils.
