Olive-backed Sunbird | Organic Staple T-shirt
The Olive-backed Sunbird is like a tiny, shimmering jewel darting through the air! Found across Southeast Asia, from Indonesia to northern Australia, this little bird has an iridescent splash of olive-green on its back, with a brilliant yellow belly that seems to glow in the sunlight. It's often seen flitting from flower to flower, using its slender, curved beak to sip nectar, while also picking off small insects. With its acrobatic flying skills and vibrant colors, the Olive-backed Sunbird is a busy, energetic presence in the forest or garden, constantly on the move. The male is especially eye-catching, sporting a dazzling combination of metallic blues and greens on its chest, especially during mating displays. Despite its small size, this sunbird packs a big punch of beauty and energy, bringing a splash of color wherever it goes!
- Fabric: Mid weight, 100% combed organic cotton (15% viscose in marle colourways) sustainably grown without herbicides or pesticides.
- Fit: Regular fit with a crew neck.
- Construction: Side-seamed, GOTS-certified, with neck ribbing, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, and double needle hems. It is also pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage.
Care- for maximum print life:
- Turn inside out: Always invert your shirt before putting it in the wash to reduce friction against the Direct-to-Garment (DTG) ink.
- Cold & gentle: Wash the garment on a cold cycle (under 30°C) on your machine's gentlest setting.
- Mild detergent only: Use standard, mild washing powder. Avoid heavy-duty detergents, enzymes, and bleaching agents (even non-chlorine ones, if possible).
- No softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip or degrade the coloured inks.
