Tumbleweed summer catalogue 2012

Our silk screen printed tees are made with love in Days Bay, New Zealand. Each design is hand drawn, and the tees are individually hand screened then heat cured. The end result is fine detailed designs that can be ironed over and worn for years.

Morus serrator Watching gannets plunge diving for fish is an exhilarating experience! They become so streamlined that they hardly decelerate at all as they enter the water, having to apply the brakes as they reach their required depth.
