This has got to be my favourite womens tee because i love the colour bronze .
There are only a few of these bronze neck print tees left in limited sizes, we may be re-doing them again next year but just incase I would recommend that if you are partial to any of our womens tees in the current shades and colours – get one before they sell out!
Next year we will have a whole new lot of shades and colours and a handful of new prints in smaller runs. I am excited to be choosing and finalising the new pantone dye shades as we speak with a few totally new pieces being added into our basic range of tees… of course good things take time so keep an eye out on our website in 2012.

Don’t you love a beautiful day for winter soltice in the paradise of Whaingaroa, Raglan… this was my morning at the beach.
Winter soltice is the shortest day of the year … does that mean we are on the downhill to summer?
It is also the time of Matariki, maori new year. Matariki is the Māori name for the small cluster of stars known as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. When it rises in the north-eastern skies in late May or early June, it signals to Māori that the New Year will begin.
Matariki literally means the ‘eyes of god’ (mata ariki) or ‘little eyes’ (mata riki). Some say that when Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku, the earth mother were separated by their offspring, the god of the winds, Tāwhirimātea, became angry, tearing out his eyes and hurling them into the heavens. In one tradition, Matariki is the mother surrounded by her six daughters.
For all Māori it was a time to celebrate seasonal fertility and remember those who had passed.
Wishing much aroha and Matariki blessings to you for the maori new year x

Discover why New Zealand women are loving Rata & Ruby’s organic cotton tee shirts. Surprised by just how good our customised fit is with a flattering scoop neckline, cap sleeve and shaped waistline. Women are also loving the longer length in the body and how great our fine organic fabric wears… we did not realise how hard it was to find a nice womens tee shirt and are delighted by our happy customers e-mails and feedback that greet us each morning. Thank You!
We hope you love our latest fresh arrivals like this Ataahua Words – Beautiful Words design, or the Neck print which comes in quite alot of colourways ( I got carried away!)

I am so happy with the new Koru Graffiti colours on our grey organic baby & kids sweatshirts.
There are 3 limited edition colours to choose from – Rose Pink, Fern Green & Deep Blue. All look beautiful against the warm gull grey sweatshirting. The earthy green and regal blue shades are easily unisex too.
My kids have not taken theirs off, particularily loving the warm brushed organic cotton feel of the fabric and nice roomy fit. Sizing now goes from 3months – 10 years in the hooded sweatshirts too… but get in quick as we only hav a few in each size per colourway.
I wish I had printed these ages ago, and am sure you will love them too x

The first day of Spring teased us with her sunshine and still day, I hope she is going to visit again and stay real soon.
Sept 1st was a jandals and tee day, & in anticipation of their return we have reprinted our unisex kids tees with this Tiki print. It works so well as a learning aid for the colours in Maori as well as looking great. In a mix of pacific green, indigo & gull grey tees they are sure to make a great NZ gift.

This has to be my favourite tee this Spring, something about bronze is an understated earthy colour that is special.
A perfect colour to be used with our Neck Print to frame the wearers face and mana.
We enjoyed playing with colour this spring when printing our new Womens tees… so you have lots of combinations to choose from!
