FRESH new Womens prints & colours!!

June 14th, 2010

neck-print-mulberry-redWe are pleased to finally have some new womens prints and beautiful fresh colourways in our Womens Tees! Chilli Red, Pacific Green & classic Black with complementary prints in teal, mulberry, bronze and white…
Check out our new hand drawn Aroha Heart which is finer and full of movement. Our neckprint which is slowly catching on has been handprinted in an array of colours… just to confuse you (and because I love colour and could not choose myself!).
We have printed the neckprint on a childrens short sleeve hooded sweatshirt in a ataahua teal print on pacific green which my daughter is adoring right now…. I hope you enjoy this newness!

New Spiral Womens Tees

May 10th, 2010

red-spiral
The first of our new womens prints… we love the chilli red colour tees too! This spiral print is off to the left side on tee, nice and clean print that allows this tee to be dressed up or down. Still a beautiful, flattering cut organic tee with scoop neckline and shaped in at the waist but please note that this time our new tees are a small fit (sorry!)…. so please order up a size. Available in Chilli Red with a mulberry print or Black tee with a teal print. Watch this space for our pacific green womens tees too!

Learn your colours in te reo maori with our Tiki print

April 29th, 2010

ava-green-tiki
Not only does our rendition of the tiki look good, it doubles as a simple bilingual learning tool for colours in te reo maori. Each colour is printed with its corresponding english word around along the sides of the tiki print. One of our Rata & Ruby goals is to spread an understanding and appreciation of te ao maori – the maori world (language, art, sayings, beliefs) in a contemporary way… and with aroha!
We have these fresh green and toasty warm kids hoodies on SALE at the moment for $39 each … to help spread the warmth and love. It looks great on tama – boys and wahine – girls too!

Meri Kirihimete!

Meri Kirihimete!

I love the feeling of summer holdiays approaching and getting together with whanau and friends over christmas. We hope that you all have a happy festive season and wish you much love, luck and happiness for 2010. Enjoy the sunshine and summer holidays … nothing beats jandels, fish n chips and beach days – here in Raglan it means bombs off the walk bridge and family surf sessions. Lots of music festivals and live music on over summer show casing the best of NZ music too!… Get Beached! x
