Polish tee

New Zealand label, Polish is releasing a memorial tee in honour of founder, Struan Barty who passed away from lymphoma last year.

The husband and wife team of Stru and Sarah started Polish in 2003 when they identified a niche market of busy mums looking for stylish casual gear.

Polish has gone from strength to strength with tees being imported from Los Angeles and printed with Sarah’s own designs.

Unfortunately, the young family’s plans were cut short when Stru was diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that claimed his life in July last year.

Sarah says, “Stru was such a passionate, outgoing person, inspirational in his work.”

“Even in the hospital he was coaching other patients to fight the disease, the nurses loved him.”

In his memory, Polish has created a line of gorgeous Stru Magic tees that are available for $149 with $5 going to the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation who supported Stru throughout his treatment.

“These tee-shirts are our way of sharing the Stru magic and keeping his memory alive while at the same time, helping out this wonderful charity”.
