Ahoy! Mini Pier Pelican T-shirt
The story
This long-sleeved T-shirt with classic stripes is made from a wonderfully soft, quality fabric, making it an instant favorite in any wardrobe.
Petros the Pelican was a local legend on the island of Mykonos. In 1955, a local fisherman picked up an exhausted pelican from the sea after it had apparently gone off course during its migration. It was the first time the islanders had seen such a creature, and it was love at first sight. He was described as social, cheerful and lazy, which represented the local spirit perfectly.
Petros the Pelican became Mykonos' superstar and enjoyed the privileges that came with it. He ate for free wherever he went, received pets from Hollywood celebrities, and was even gifted a female pelican by the First Lady of the United States herself, Jackie Kennedy (It was a different time!). However, at the height of his career, he was kidnapped by men from the neighboring island of Tinos and a war nearly broke out between the two islands, but Petros managed to return to Mykonos, where he lived happily ever after... meaning he was actually run over by a car and died in 1985. Petros' death didn't leave Mykonos pelican-free, however, and today three of his successors carry on the legacy. One of them is also named Petros, and his sense of direction is also said to be completely hopeless. #lostatlast
