Kōrero Korona - COVID19
Kia manawanui mai e hika mā,
like many businesses across Aotearoa (and the wider world) Covid19 has had an impact on our pakihi.
Our supply chain has been partially impacted for certain products which have meant we have had to make some compromises on our preferred suppliers and products. This also means that expected delivery times are longer than usual at the moment too.
We hope that with time the economy will pick up again, and our suppliers will be able to provide us with our preferred stock options for apparel etc.
We're also taking extra precautions with hygiene practices in our tari to ensure we're keeping our customers as safe as possible. This includes sanitizing our work area on a daily basis, wearing disposable gloves & masks, & sanitizing products where applicable before shipping.
We also recommend the following steps for customers who are purchasing tāmoko stencil kits.
-
Wear protective gear where possible - face mask & gloves as you will be in close contact with other people and their faces.
-
Wash thoroughly & sanitize each piece in between each application using mediwipes.
-
DO NOT apply to any person who is presenting with flu like symptoms or other obvious medical problems such as eczema or cold sores.
-
Keep a record of all persons who are being stenciled for contact tracing purposes.
NOTE: We DO NOT recommend the use of stencil kits at public festivals and vendor events where stencils are applied on the general public. Please seek advice from Health professionals before using these kits on the general public.
