Lockier Label — Painter Koala (AU Koala / Brainy & Buttoned-Up) — Unisex T-Shirt
An ode to the painter koala.
A koala in a paint-stained smock, easel at side. Mid-brushstroke, head tilted, holding the canvas and the brief together. Welcome to Lockier Label's Brainy & Buttoned-Up lane — country-pure Australian humour celebrating the people who hold that role together. Self-deprecating and quietly proud.
This is Painter Koala, the next launch tee in our Brainy & Buttoned-Up range. Hand-Drawn style vector art of an Australian koala, printed to order at The Print Bar's Australian on-shore Brisbane facility.
Why we made this.
Lockier Label is one tee brand with three country cousins on it. Australia is home, New Zealand is the close neighbour, Canada is the sister country. Each country gets its own mascot, its own prints, its own SKUs. Today it begins with the country's koala in the Brainy & Buttoned-Up lane.

How we make these.
Every tee is printed after you order it — no mass inventory, no waste, no overproduction. Designers and production are paid fair rates because the per-unit production costs stay higher in Australian on-shore printing than in overseas mega-print, and that's the trade we make consciously. The Print Bar ships from Brisbane; Australian delivery times reflect that choice, not a slip.
About Lockier Label.
Lockier Label is run by Paul Lockier — sole trader, Adelaide, South Australia. Soft-launching in 2026. Built on the brand thesis of affectionate cross-cultural sibling humour: three sister-country friends — Australia, New Zealand, Canada — sharing a quiet register of warm, country-pure jokes.
Where humor meets style — one tee at a time.
