Who creates the artwork on Kaleo shirts?

Every Kaleo print starts with an original artwork by a New Zealand artist. We work closely with talented artists from around Aotearoa to create exclusive designs inspired by our landscapes, coastal lifestyle, native flora and cultural heritage. Each shirt includes the story behind the design and the artist who brought it to life.

Simply wash, hang and wear, with minimal effort required to keep your shirt looking great.

Do Kiwi Classic shirts need ironing?

Most customers find little or no ironing is required. Kiwi Classic shirts are made from easy-care fabric that resists creasing and travels exceptionally well.

About the Artist

TIKI MANAIA PRINT by Stace 'The Ace' Roper.

"I also wanted something fresh and fun feeling too, it should be something that proudly shows our unique roots”, says Stace.

Beneath a thin crust of conformity lies a bubbling cauldron of weirdness. Stace The Ace’s diet of vintage monster movies, comic books and with the whiff of an oily rag, will take you on a white knuckle ride deep into the Low Brow Art World of Kustom Kulture.

Stace The Ace is a well known NZ Kustom Kulture Artist and illustrator from Te Atiawa/Taranaki, now based in Auckland. Stace is most known for her Beach Hop Tiki Bar (made with her good friend Melissa Hannan), colourful monster art and realistic hot rod paintings along with the steady hand art of pinstriping on cars.

Stace The Ace grew up in New Plymouth and Studied Applied Art & Design before moving into a career in advertising for more than 25 years. Often freelancing but always painting or drawing in her spare time, Stace is happy to focus on her art full time and has since been featured in Rolling Stone Australia and also rewarded with an induction into the Rat Fink Hall of Fame (USA), by the Roth Family.
