Pepe para riki/Copper butterfly T-shirt
Pepe para riki/Copper butterfly T-shirt
Aotearoa has 4, 7, or more species of copper butterfly - more research is needed! Adult copper butterflies have copper and black markings and can range in size from 17-35mm. Their eggs are laid on the underside of pōhuehue/muehlenbeckia species where their small green caterpillars reside. See these beauties flying close to the ground in the summer months.
Each tee is hand-printed to order using water based inks.
$5 from this t-shirt is donated to Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust Pūrerehua Aotearoa

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.

I just arrived home to find my tee shirt for me and my grandson. It fits perfectly and true to the size chart. I love that a donation also goes to saving the copper butterflies!! Thank you Tumbleweed for coming up with such a great concept and wonderful artwork :-))
Super! Thank you.
lovely print and colour. a bit small for XL womens
Lovely! Any chance you will bring back the lovely aqua coloured t-shirts we used to be able to purchase? We need a bit of brightness!
We are repeat buyers because we love these T's. We think the philosophy is great, the quality is great, and the artwork is great.
I prefer to buy the men's style for myself (female) and my daughter prefers men's style too, as we both like a longer sleeve. Would prefer a V-neck, but I know it's hard for a small company to offer multiple styles.
Thanks again for another lovely birthday present!
