A LITTLE INTRO!
Pussy-cat Tees, is a project started by Val and Sara, a q***r couple, based in Ōtautahi. What started out as a birthday party outfit soon turned into a passion project, with the support of our local community.
Wearing or seeing the Pussy-cat print can be really confronting for many. The initial discomfort, we realised, is the shame that society and history have unfairly put upon us. However, the pride that comes when you consciously choose to not buy into that, with a p***y-cat tee, is so empowering. Seeing others experience that pride is all the reward we need from this passion project. We want to raise our children in a different world to how we were.
Inclusion and authenticity is extremely important to us, so we decided that we wouldn't do a standard range of clothing, and rather, let our Pussy-cat wearers choose the style and size that makes them feel the best. Our designs are for everyone to feel confident and empowered in.
Being part of the rainbow community, and with children that also identify as rainbow, prompted us to turn this into a charitable cause. We have donated 100% of all profits to Qtopia, as their mission is so valid and worthwhile and we are excited to continue to do so!
