Wompoo Fruit Dove | Organic Staple T-shirt
The Wompoo Fruit Dove, with its vibrant green wings, deep purple chest, and lemon-yellow belly, is one of Australia's most colorful and striking birds. Found mainly in the rainforests of eastern Australia and New Guinea, this dove plays a crucial role in spreading seeds from the native fruits it loves to eat. Its name comes from its distinctive, booming "wompoo" call that echoes through the forest canopy. Conservation groups like Rainforest Rescue are actively working to protect the Wompoo Fruit Dove’s habitat by preserving and restoring critical rainforest areas, ensuring these beautiful birds continue to thrive in their natural environment.
- 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.
