WATAMU Men’s Shirt, Mint Green

Product information "WATAMU Men’s Shirt, Mint Green"

Our WATAMU 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 lesson that the drawing of a small sea turtle emerged – one that is just leaving its nest and making its way to the ocean.
By purchasing this special T-shirt, you are supporting the vital work of our partner organisation, Bahari Hai, in protecting these remarkable animals.

Did you know

We chose the colour mint green for this T-shirt because the shade is inspired by the young,
green shoots of the mangrove foliage found in the coastal vegetation of Watamu.

Production

Like every Kipepeo T-shirt, the Baby Turtle T-shirt is produced over a distance of just 600 km by owner-run 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 rich midnight blue shade. 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.

HIPPO Men’s T-shirt, Midnight Blue
HIPPO Men’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!
