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  &#8211; get one before they sell out! </p>
<p>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&#8230; of course good things take time so keep an eye out on our website in 2012.</p>

</em>Winter soltice is the shortest day of the year &#8230; does that mean we are on the downhill to summer?<br />
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.<br />
Matariki literally means the ‘eyes of god’ (mata <dfn title="first-born male or female of a family of senior rank">ariki</dfn>) 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.<br />
For all Māori it was a time to celebrate seasonal fertility and remember those who had passed. <br />
<em>Wishing much aroha and Matariki blessings to you for the maori new year x</em></p>

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 &#8211; 10 years in the hooded sweatshirts too&#8230; but get in quick as we only hav a few in each size per colourway.<br />
I wish I had printed these ages ago, and am sure you will love them too x</p>
