I guess I've always been a greenie from way back i I guess I've always been a greenie from way back in my hippy days when we bought 50 hectares of land near Kaitaia in the early seventies. It cost us $15000!! Not a died in the wool radical, I like my pleasures too much! But if there was a better way for us and the planet I usually took it. At The Egg (our restaurant) we used organic where we could and followed good animal practices like proper free range eggs. So it was a no brainer for the new business to make it as eco as possible.. We have to import the fabric because there is none made here but by using hemp we are setting ourselves up to utilize the huge interest in hemp farming in NZ and hopefully the production of fabric. Imagine it with possum fur added! https://dtees.co.nz/ https://chooice.co.nz/store/t-shirts/
Oh no, more happy customers! Now we will have to d Oh no, more happy customers! Now we will have to deal with all the adulation, the international media, a tsunami of orders and just a general increase of workload. If only we didn't have customers, it would be so much easier! 🙃 I love it! It's like selling my homemade ice cream. The little eyes watch as the mountain fills the cone and then the little hand shoots out to grasp the prize with a beautiful smile. It's akin to selling sunshine! https://dtees.co.nz/ https://chooice.co.nz/store/t-shirts/

Hi Guys and Girls, we have reduced our organic cot Hi Guys and Girls, we have reduced our organic cotton t shirts down to $39. We used this fabric for our first line of t shirts and are phasing it out in favour of the hemp/organic cotton to be ready for, hopefully, hemp fabric coming on line in NZ. Already we have hemp yarn being produced here, now we just need to add some possum fur and hey presto we have a completely sustainable, natural product that has the byproduct of saving our environment. Win/win https://dtees.co.nz/ https://chooice.co.nz/store/t-shirts/
So where do the images on our eco t shirts come fr So where do the images on our eco t shirts come from?⁠ I have had a long association with the arts from visual to theatre to music to promotion and although I have been known to bury my head in the sand/hedge for art, it has shaped me as a person. Although the top end, the selling of art, can often be contrived and driven by greed, the arts community which I have come to know is generous and welcoming and a very important part of making our world a better place. The images are of making art on a trip around the South Island including dressing the Moeraki Boulders with bull kelp found on the beach
I said I would post about the printing side and th I said I would post about the printing side and there she is the Brother GT3 direct to garment printer. $30,000 new but I did get mine second hand which brought it's own problems like a three month wait to get it overhauled. It's just like a normal desktop printer except it needs special AR3 files where you can set the amount of ink needed. ⁠ To give a good reproduction it lays down white ink and then adds the colour on top but how much is determined by the colour of the fabric. Black obviously needs more white but too much gives a rubbery feel to the print so losing a bit in the image to give a more natural feel is worth it. ⁠ Each ink cartridge is $280 so economy comes in to play too. Full white and a big image can cost up to $10 a shirt which adds a lot to the final price. Screen printing is cheaper if you are doing 100 shirts with the same image but I am printing on demand so the GT3 works well for me.⁠ There are many more intricacies but I won't bore you with them and then there is the pretreat machine and heat press.......!
