Bush Tomato - Bamboo Shirt

Wanakiji Jukurrpa (Bush Tomato Dreaming) by Juliette Nakamarra Morris

The Wanakiji Jukurrpa (bush tomato [Solanum chippendalei] Dreaming) travels through Yaturlu (near Mount Theo, north of Yuendumu). “Wanakiji” grows in open spinifex country and is a small, prickly plant with purple flowers that bears green fleshy fruit with many small black seeds. After collecting the fruit the seeds are removed with a small wooden spoon called ‘kajalarra’. The fruit then can be eaten raw or threaded onto skewers called ‘turlturrpa’ and then cooked over a fire. ‘Wanakiji’ can also be skewered and left to dry. When they are prepared in this way it is called ‘turlturrpa’ and the fruit can be kept for a long time. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. The Wanakiji Jukurrpa belongs to Napanangka/Napangardi women and Japanangka/Japangardi men.

Why Bamboo

  • Naturally Organic - bamboo is grown without pesticides or fertilisers. Luxuriously soft - bamboo feels like silky cashmere.
  • Sustainable - Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants, growing up to a metre in a day. Bamboo is a grass, so once cut it will regenerate quickly without the need for replanting (in the same way as your garden lawn). It grows very densely and so the yield per acre is excellent in comparison to cotton.
  • Eco-friendly - one of the most positive things about bamboo is that it absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than equivalent stands of trees. More bamboo would help to cut the globally rising levels of carbon dioxide and help in the fight against global warming. Bamboo is also biodegradable.
  • Comfortable and Anti-Static – Fabric made from bamboo is incredibly soft and luxurious, and has an anti-static nature, so it sits well against your skin without clinging.
  • Absorbent - bamboo absorbs up to 60% more water than cotton. This makes it an excellent choice for drawing moisture off the body.
  • Antibacterial – Bamboo is naturally and continuously antibacterial, staying fresh and odour free for longer.
  • Breathable - the porous nature of the fibre makes it breathable and extremely comfortable against the skin.
  • Thermo-regulating - keeps the wearer warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather.
  • Hypoallergenic - bamboo's organic and natural properties make it non-irritating so perfect for extra sensitive skin
  • UV Protective – it cuts out 98% of harmful UV rays.

Wonderful Products!!

I loved the Bush Tomato Shirt. Big Hawaiian shirt fan, and was looking for similar types supporting indigenous culture. It was at this time that I found out about indigenous persons not being included in the constitution. So buying tshirts with the Indigenous flag on it was a way for me to show my support and start conversations. Being Canadian we are confronting our history. It’s an challenge to confront people who have not learned the whole history of our relationship with indigenous persons. If I can provoke thought and consideration by representing and having a productive conversation with one person.

All that said, the Bush Tomato Shirt was beautiful and the feel of the bamboo was amazing.
The shirts with the indigenous Australian flag were such high quality and the printing was exceptional.
The products arrived in a timely and prompt fashion. The personal note included in my purchases was reaffirming my choice to support this store.

Refunded shirt

The shirt I bought wasn't right for the person we bought it for, but we had no problem refunding. They were easy to get hold of and responded quickly without fuss

Out to party in my Bush Tomato shirt

I have just put on my new shirt to celebrate my granddaughter's birthday. It's a cheery pattern and the bamboo fabric is super soft, cool and comfortable. This will be my fourth Planet Corroboree shirt (plus more for gifts). I think they atre great!
