T-shirts (see link below)
Ukulele Sunshine Portugal is working with Mudchutney to make a selection of t-shirts and stickers available to order online.
You can shop official merchandise with unique Ukulele Sunshine Portugal designs in unisex and ladies t-shirts, in a range of colours, and a selection of Ukulele Sunshine Portugal stickers in a range of sizes. This design is by artist Sharon dipity, a multi-disciplinary visual artist working across the media of drawing, printmaking and painting, with a passion for Portugal ... and lighthouses! See her lighthouse series! This lighthouse or 'farol' in Portuguese was drawn in 2025 when coming back on the ferry from Culatra.
