Many of you will have heard how nature is connected. There are small fish that zap around big fish and keep them clean, sea anemones that hitch around on the backs of crabs, and plants that will feed you in exchange for a good watering. On the mysterious island of Klah, a species of native singing cat is responsible for the blooming of many fruits and flowers. The sound of forty cats wailing together in an alleyway is not normally something anyone in their right mind would go out of their way to hear, but these particular cats are considered an audial delicacy, and draw crowds from distant lands who flock to the island at different times of the year to watch flowers unfurl and vegetables hurl themselves up from the earth, each to a different type of music. For example, when it is time for the parsnips to arise, the cats perform a jazzy funk number, and when it is time for the roses to bloom a tragic opera rings through the streets, because it is well known that roses love a good heroine death. There are love ballads to turn the lemons sour, psy-trance for the goji berries and cabbages are always up for a snazzy disco. The cats still sometimes fight as cats (and temperamental artists) do, they brawl over creative differences and who gets the lead part in musicals, but they fight to music so it becomes a beautiful rhythmic fight dance, throwing shapes not punches and swiping xylophones not faces. When the fight dances occur strange new varieties of plants are often born, such as corn cobs made of pearls, forests of broccoli so enormous that people build treehuts in the branches, and perhaps most importantly, a potent purple catnip with sardines for flowers, which fuels the cats and continues the cycle of beasts and birds and all things fruity in Klah, & thus, the world continues.

100% cotton handprinted sweatshirt with neck and sleeve cuff ribbing (350 GSM), produced under ethical working conditions and printed using environmentally friendly, organic inks.

Comes with Native Singing Cats story-card and the Klah certified seal of authenticity.

This is a unisex sized garment – sizing guide in images.

The Kingdom of Klah is an island of mysterious splendor, exotic beasts and curious tales, known for many things: their unbeatable walrus-riding team (possibly unbeatable as they are the only country to partake in the sport), their breed of native singing cats, several unusual national dishes such as “fresh fig and lettuce pie” and “eggs with egg jam”, and of course, the splendid natural scenery of the small island nation, from fierce snowcapped mountains to lakes with water and trees with leaves.

Since 2012 they have been releasing Official Royal Garments in celebration of their magnificent country. Each item has been designed and written about by the Kingdom’s Master Artist Nina van der Voorn, who lives halfway between the Kingdom of Klah, an estuary in the top of the South Island, and then sometimes Europe, because three halves make a whole in Klah. “Life is pretty klah-riffic”, she says.

Sir Cecil Slipperfoot has been the Ambassador of Klah for a number of years and is widely known in the Kingdom for his voluminous hair, splendid boots, and for the time he famously won the Klah National High Jump Championships while clad in a bejewelled bearskin. He is passionate about quality cotton garments that are produced in certified ethical conditions, and one day aspires to design and produce a line of cotton head-to-slipper bodysuits, called SLIPPERHEAD. At the moment he has to be satisfied with the quality garments Kingdom of Klah currently provides. “And I am stupendously satisfied with these”, he says.
