03 Room to be yourself.
One idea, worn a hundred different ways. That’s the point.
Fit, fabric & where it’s made

This is the first tee concept. Final fit, fabric, sizing, and release details are still to come. Overseas production is planned; the manufacturer is not yet confirmed. Kembo’s local connection is its Illawarra identity and its commitment to local youth support.

Design concept. The artwork and final tee are still being developed.

02 / OUR PATCH

Between the mountain
& the sea.

ILLAWARRA, AUSTRALIA.A place with a character all its own.

Salt air.
Steel by the water.
Good people.

Coast, bush, industry, everyday life—right alongside one another. That’s the Illawarra Kembo draws from.

We want a local to look at the artwork and think, “That’s us.” And someone from somewhere else to love it just as much. You don’t have to be from here to feel part of it.

FROM HERE, WITH LOVE.

WHY KEMBO EXISTS

Some things
stay with you.

Local youth services helped me become the person I am today.

Kembo is a way to give something back to the place, and the people, who helped me along the way. I want that support to be there for the young people coming next.

That’s why local youth support is at the heart of our 10% promise.

A note from Kembo’s founder
How the giving works

03 / THE GOOD YOU DO

Good on you.
Good for here.

For the next generation of this place.
Something you wear. Something you give back.
