SERENGETI Children’s T-shirt, Mint Green

Product information "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.

Did you know

The name Serengeti is derived from the word ‘Siringet’ in ‘Maa’, the language of the Maasai, and means ‘endless plain’.

Production

Like every Kipepeo shirt, the SERENGETI 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 mint green 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 printed by hand using water-based screen-printing inks.

ELEPHANT Children’s T-shirt, Dark Grey
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.

TORTOISE Children’s T-shirt, Dark Green
TORTOISE Children’s T-shirt, Dark Green

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.

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 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.
