Description

This Hoodie has been inspired by our smallest and quietest endemic pepeketua – the Archey’s Frog. These tiny, nocturnal creatures are among the world’s oldest surviving frog species, with their lineage dating back over 200 million years!  They are critically endangered, but still facing threats from mining interests – highlighting the importance of fighting for all creatures – Big and Small.

About the artist: Carrie Shores-Laithwaite is a conservationist by trade and an artist by nature. Originally hailing from the USA, she fell in love with New Zealand’s unique landscapes and wildlife, deciding to make Aotearoa her home after abandoning her career aspirations as an archaeologist. Through her art, she seeks to spotlight the beauty of New Zealand’s native species and raise awareness of the environmental challenges they face.

The hoodies are screen printed by Studio 386 – our Frankton neighbour!
