Swimwear and activewear manufacturer ‘Kozii’ created these comical Australian Christmas sweaters to bring a unique outback touch to this year’s holiday season. These quirky jumpers are called ‘Rashie Down Under’ or ‘The Ugly Christmas Rashie.’
Each Australian Christmas sweater boasts traditional knitting with snowflake designs, which are typically seen throughout the Northern hemisphere of festive attire. The difference with the Rashie sweaters is the addition of embroidered kangaroos. These sweaters combine traditions of the holiday season with a unique proximity-appropriate touch. The team at Kozii noted that when people see these shirts on the beach, they will really “stand out, they look amazing and the quality is fantastic.”
However, beyond the aesthetic appeal, these shirts will also be used to raise money for the 'Cancer Council Queensland.' In the spirit of the holidays, these shirts are both fashionably appropriate and they are designed to give back to the community, which is the ultimate goal during the holiday season.
