Tāiko T-shirt
Tāiko T-shirt
The tāiko/Chatham Island tāiko is one of the rarest seabirds in the world and was believed to be extinct for over 100 years before its rediscovery in the 1970s. There are only about 15 known breeding pairs remaining. They breed exclusively in the dense forests at the southern tip of Rēkohu Island.
Drawing based on a photo by H. Shirihai, the Tubenoses Project.

$5 from this t-shirt is donated to the Chatham Island Tāiko Trust

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
As a general rule we recommend the following care for our garments:
• machine wash cold with like colours
• avoid bleach
• line dry in the shade if possible
• do not dry clean
• our prints are fine to iron over (as they are heat cured)
• designs can fade over time, and fading is hastened by frequent hot washes.

We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 47 million deliveries and removed over 33 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.

Looks great but it’s a Xmas gift for someone so we’ve not unfolded it … have enjoyed your products in the past and hence our confidence to gift these beautiful t-shirts to others.
PS: it was hugely kind of you to put the note book in as a little gift… very much appreciated! THANK YOU! ☀️🙏🏽🎄
Lovely t-shirt and great fit. Great that there's a contribution to conservation too. Thanks.
Wonderful design, great colour, perfect fit and beautiful cotton fabric. As well as supporting a good cause all packaging is recyclable and I’m using the tag as a bookmark.
great fit - and love the muted blue and the feel of the fabric
As always, beautiful art work and excellent quality.
I look forward to giving them to the grandchildren at Xmas.
