Birds of Melbourne | Organic Staple T-shirt
If Melbourne were turned into birds, this would probably be the result. You've got the magpie acting like it owns the place, the silver gull stealing lunch, the little penguin waddling home after a long day, and the peregrine falcon moving through the city at a pace nobody else can keep up with. The superb fairy-wren is dressed for a Fitzroy laneway photoshoot, the red wattlebird is loudly sharing its opinions with anyone within earshot, and the orange-bellied parrot remains harder to spot than a sunny long weekend. It's a bunch as vaired as their human counterparts, just with fewer discussions about coffee and weather.
- 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.
