BIRDS Kinder Shirt Mitternachtsblau
180 GSM Single Jersey
100% Baumwolle (Bio) aus Tansania

Seit einigen Jahren teilen wir uns in Stuttgart unser Lager mit der Firma NYUZI Blackwhite. Sarah Ambani und ihr Team produzieren Taschen und Rücksäcke aus recycelten Zementsäcken in ihrer kleinen, WFTO zertifizierten Näherei in Lusigetti, nahe Nairobi. Sarah unterstützt uns seit Jahren bei den Schnittmustern unserer Shirts und somit haben wir uns gedacht, es ist an der Zeit das auch mal ein Kipepeo-Shirt bei NYUZI Blackwhite entsteht. In den letzten Monaten haben wir einen tollen, neuen T-Shirt entwickelt und das Team von NYUZI in der Herstellung von T-Shirts geschult. Inzwischen sitzen alle Handgriffe und wir werden im August 2024 in die erste, kleine Produktion gehen! Das Motiv „BIRDS“ besteht aus Zeichnungen von 3 verschiedenen Vögelchen welche die Kinder der Näherinnen von NYUZI gestaltet haben. Durch die Verkaufserlöse soll deren Schulbildung unterstützt werden und durch die Produktion, erhält Sarahs Team ein zusätzliches Einkommen und ihr natürlich ein wirklich ganz besonderes Kipepeo-Shirt!
Ihr könnt das Shirt (vorab limitiert auf 100 Stück) ab sofort vorbestellen!
Wie unser "BIRDS" Shirt entstanden ist, seht ihr in diesem Video.
The manufacturing of all Kipepeo products, starting from the cultivation of organic cotton to the finished garment, takes place locally in Tanzania and Kenya.
This creates a holistic cycle based on fundamental principles of fairness, transparency and sustainability and, through an economic approach, supports social projects in East Africa.
Our Print Designs
The designs we print on Kipepeo products are drawn by pupils during regular school lessons such as natural history in schools in Tanzania and Kenya. Martin and Goodluck explain how the idea of Kipepeo Clothing came about and how the designs are created today.
