KWATZ is a creative T-shirt label producing small editions of unique multi-colour designs individually printed by hand from a tiny studio in rural east Yorkshire. KWATZ is a one-woman show, the brainchild of artist Amanda Roseveare who seeks to bring new vigour to the T-shirt with a small range of flamboyant, distinctive designs inspired by the art and folklore of Africa and the colour and energy of modern street culture. T-shirts are an ideal vehicle for Amanda’s art, always a popular piece of clothing and a great canvas for ideas as ‘wearable art’.
KWATZ caters for people who appreciate the difference between mass produced machine prints and the quality of original artisan work. The process is not mechanised at all – every print really is unique. The screens for printing are hand held, designs are hand dawn and all stencils are intricately hand-cut from paper, thus only producing small runs of each print before the paper stencils become unusable.
The prints are soft, durable and colour fast, screen printed in ravishing colours using water based inks. Our standard T-shirt model is a top quality semi-fitted unisex classic 100% cotton jersey T-shirt, a wardrobe staple that can be worn all year round. It features a crew neck, short sleeves and is slightly longer in length.
