Fabric & Care

Thickness

Lightweight Heavyweight

Softness
Rough Super Soft

Breathability
Waterproof Breathable


For best care, machine wash gently in cold water, using a mild detergent, and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Line dry out of direct sunlight, refrain from tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or fabric deterioration. If necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid damaging any prints or embellishments.

Avoid contact with rough surfaces or abrasive materials, as this may cause pilling or snags in the fabric. For long-term care, store the garment in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or moisture.

Sustainability 🍃

Environmentally Responsible
Crafted from premium yarns made from recycled PET bottles, this polo is printed with advanced, high-quality, carcinogen-free inks. This ensures not only vibrant, lasting designs but also minimises harmful environmental impact throughout the printing process.

‎

Sustainable Production
Life Apparel is committed to sustainability by partnering with vetted local and international manufacturers. We produce limited quantities of each design, ensuring both exclusivity and preventing overproduction, which helps to reduce waste and minimise our environmental footprint.

‎

Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging, which is entirely plastic-free. We use kerbside-recyclable or home-compostable mailers to reduce landfill waste. All deliveries are managed by Australia Post, which actively supports carbon-offset projects aimed at reducing emissions and promoting a greener future.

The Artwork
"...we may sometimes fly alone, but there is plenty of room in the sky - room enough for all of us to fly..."

Shelley Conway

Digital Illustration

Shelley Conway is a First Nations Artist, a proud Bundjalung and South Sea Islander woman, currently residing on Yugambeh land (Queensland).

"Milbany (eagle) soars the skies as we stand on Country, attempting to emulate the characteristics of the mighty wedge-tail eagle—confident in our abilities, powerful in our truth, unwavering in our purpose. Proudly flying the banner of our ancestry.

In this piece, the gurumgan (stars) represent The Dreaming and the worlds that we must travel between: the Human World, the Physical World, and the Sacred World. Our healing and personal growth are rarely linear; the journey is often fraught with obstacles and challenges that we must overcome, both internally and externally. This journey is our personal gawarima; it cannot be replicated by another, nor should we try to mirror someone else’s path. The experiences we bring with us to this moment are unique to us as individuals, and we can use these to stand strong in our beliefs, rooted in the knowledge that we already have inside us everything we need to succeed.

Milbany reminds me that we may sometimes fly alone, but there is plenty of room in the sky - room enough for all of us to fly."

Great shirt but sizing big

Love the shirt and got the size I normally would for a slightly loose fit but it’s a lot bigger. I would have bought at least one but probably two sizes down.

Thanks for the feedback Sarah - in case you would like to swap it, you’re welcome to return it for free. For details please visit https://lifeapparel.co/returns
