Rapanui clothing: Now a little more transparent

Rapanui clothing: Now a little more transparent

The good folk at Rapanui have really stepped things up with their latest collection.

Sticking to their green credentials, brothers Rob and Mart Drake-Knight have nailed the kind of edgy-yet-ethical vibe needed to get the 'yoof' dressing and thinking a little more green.

Staunchly committed to maintaining a sustainable business model, the Drake-Knight boys are also setting a pretty good example for their corporate counterparts. Shunning the spin and greenwash dominating the industry, they've vowed to try and keep things as transparent as possible by making sure customers can find out exactly where their clothing comes from and how it is made.

And if the nu-rave inspired Garuhoa Organic Cotton Tee doesn't get the kids dressing green, nothing will.
