Rainbow Lorikeet | Organic Staple T-shirt
The rainbow lorikeet is a dazzling burst of color in the treetops, with its vivid plumage of green, blue, red, and yellow making it one of Australia’s most recognizable birds. These lively parrots are often found in pairs or noisy flocks, delighting onlookers with their playful antics and acrobatic flight. Their brush-tipped tongues are perfectly adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, particularly from eucalyptus blossoms, making them important pollinators in their ecosystems. Rainbow lorikeets are highly social and can often be seen squabbling over fruit or calling loudly from flowering trees. While native to eastern and northern Australia, they’ve successfully adapted to urban areas, thriving in parks and gardens.
- 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.
