Now available – Geronimo merch!
GERONIMO the Alpaca merchandise has been officially launched including T-shirts and bags with his face on.
An official online store has gone live selling ‘Save Geronimo’ branded goods. The store was launched on Thursday, with the animal’s owner Helen MacDonald, 50, announcing it on Geronimo’s Facebook page.
The merchandise range offers men, women, and children’s T-shirts, branded with a drawing of Geronimo’s face, and the words #SaveGeronimo underneath.
The adult-sized T-shirts cost £20 and are available in either grey, purple, or light blue, while the children’s T-shirts are offered in either pink or white, and cost £14.
The merch store also offers cream-coloured tote bags with the same design on them, for £10.
The T-shirts and bags have been designed by custom T-shirt brand Teemill, which creates merch from organic cotton in a renewable energy-powered factory.
Helen, from Wickwar, Gloucestershire, posted a link to the online store on Geronimo’s Facebook page on Thursday, writing: “Introducing the Save Geronimo shop. We have seen many requests for #savegeronimo T-shirts so here are the details of how you can further support the Save Geronimo campaign.”
Last week, Helen called Geronimo “the most famous animal in the world”, in a Tweet that also accused the government of “ignoring me and inflicting mental harm on my family”. Geronimo is facing being destroyed any day now, with a destruction warrant valid until next Friday.
