All of our designs are created right here in New Zealand.
We use real photographs from beautiful places and turn them into unique, meaningful artwork you can wear with pride.
Our garments are printed locally in NZ, supporting New Zealand businesses and keeping quality standards high.
Every piece is inspired by the stunning beaches and landscapes of New Zealand, Aotearoa - from Bethells Beach to Opito Bay to Golden Bay to Cardrona.
We use high-quality AS Colour t-shirts and hoodies, known for their comfort, durability, and ethical production standards.
While AS Colour garments are manufactured overseas, they are a New Zealand brand and printed locally in New Zealand by trusted printing partners.
You’re getting a product that’s designed to last and feels great to wear.
Our Happy Place clothing is perfect for beach days, relaxed weekends, and gifting to loved ones who miss home or simply want to represent their hometown.
We make choosing the right size easy!
Our suggestion is to choose your favourite t-shirt, lay it down flat and measure it across the armpit and length and compare it to the sizing guide. The measurements are given for each product on the website. Body Width is measured flat from seam to seam, usually under the armpit. Body Length is measured from the shoulder to the hem. Please note that measurements can vary +/- 2.5cm, this is within our supplier's tolerance.
IWith women's t-shirts we offer the Mali and the Maple styles - the Maple is more of a classic t-shirt style while the Mali is longer with a curve at the bottom and lower neckline.
If you're unsure between two sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for a relaxed, comfy feel — perfect for everyday wear.
