Here's our very scenic solution to this very real problem!

Thought you’d missed out on tea towels for the holidays?

Fear not! All the pre-orders have been stitched up and inspected, so the contingency spares are now available to purchase, and we raided our market stock for you too.

Limited stock, don’t miss out again!

Did you know that we have a gorgeous calendar featuring original illustrations by Ryan of some of his favourite places across the motu? These make a great present for posting - especially if you're trying to convince those distant friends and rellies that it's time they paid you a visit here in Aotearoa!

Available now from Schrödinger's Books in Petone, Eightyeightputiki in Whanganui, from our Felt shop, or you can order directly online from our own website: https://birdandbeach.co.nz/product/2026-bird-and-beach-calendar/

Tea towels for the holidays?

Here at Bird and Beach we produce our own range of Art Tea Towels. Each one is crafted by Elisabeth in our own workshop from bespoke printed fabric featuring our original art. They make great gifts, or buy them for yourself for a little bit of joy each time you dry the dishes.

We sell our tea towels during pre-order rounds, so we can reduce wastage further by efficiently ordering our fabric. Our current round closes at the end of the day on Monday 27 October, for delivery in early December.
