CROCODILES Men Shirt Green
Would you like a little more? Yes absolutely! For everyone who just can't get enough of Kipepeo Designs, we are sending this design into the running: a shirt, completely wrapped in the unique drawings of the students from Tanzania and Kenya. This is where these drawings for our fair trade shirts are created as part of the natural history class. While the children learn and paint at school, our shirts are made from organic cotton in local family businesses not far away and refined using ecological screen printing. With the purchase of this shirt you continue to strengthen the local producers in Tanzania and Kenya. And help our partner schools to continue creating great lessons as they are now. Therefore, the same applies to the entire process as this shirt: how you twist and turn it - it just looks good!

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.
