Hand Painted Upcycled T Shirt Short Sleeve
This one-of-a-kind grey upcycled t-shirt by Infantium Victoria is more than a garment—it’s a story. Originally produced in the wrong color, these 100% cotton t-shirts were transformed into artful treasures by head designer Dinie van den Heuvel during the GWAND Festival in Lucerne. Featuring hand-painted illustrations of cars floating on balloons, this poetic visual metaphor embraces emissions not as shame, but as part of our shared climate reality. Strictly limited and never to be reproduced—each piece is unique.

No badges to chase — just the details, written down.
An everyday piece, made to stay. Cut from natural-fibre cloth, finished in small batches, made for the wash-and-wear rhythm of childhood — and to be handed on when outgrown.
If it needs a repair. Made to be mended. If a seam gives or a button wanders, we'd rather fix it than replace it — email us for our Repairs booklet, or find a local mender through our circular programme. See how we keep pieces in wear →
