This t-shirt is decorated with eco-friendly water-based pigment inks that are OKEO-TEXT certified. Free from dangerous substances & chemicals, heavy metals and undesirable surfactants.

    Zero plastic
    We pack your threads in recyclable acid-free tissue paper and use only plant-based home compostable mailers, at no extra cost. By sending your parcel with our delivery partner Australia Post, you’re supporting their carbon-offset projects that have positive environmental and social impacts. Since 2019, their carbon neutral parcel delivery initiative is equivalent of taking 75,000 cars off the road – or roughly 200,000 tonnes of emissions.

    Controlled production
    Sustainability involves finding a balance between supply and demand. Life Apparel's t-shirts are decorated locally in Queensland; only limited quantities are produced of each model to ensure exclusivity and avoid overproduction, like large fashion brands. Learn more →

    Tradition & Knowledge

    Created by First Nations artist Glen Mackie (Key Kalak), a Iama man from Yam Island, Torres Straits.

    This design is about the lore* of the land. The man with the eagle wings is the holy man. He is the teacher. He holds the lore and teaches the lore. The Rainbow Serpent created the land and animals, this is a common creation story used across the Australian mainland and islands by its indigenous people.
    The man with the ‘Warup’ drum is teaching you about the southern cross constellation. As a Torres Strait Islander, my people call this constellation ‘Tagai’. It is a calendar for us, we still use it today passed down from generation to generation. It was verbally taught to us about the land and sea.
    *The term 'lore' refers to the customs and stories the Aboriginal peoples learned from the Dreamtime. Aboriginal lore was passed on through the generations through songs, stories and dance and it governed all aspects of traditional life
