Celebrate one of Australia’s most beloved advertising icons with this retro-style t-shirt featuring Louie the Fly, the cheeky character from the Mortein insect spray campaign. First appearing on Australian television in 1957 and immortalised by the 1962 jingle — “Straight from the rubbish tip to you… I’m bad and mean and mighty unclean” — Louie has buzzed into the hearts of generations.
This tee captures Louie in full nostalgic glory: bold vintage colours, the unmistakable fly pose, and a design that pays tribute to mid-20th century Aussie advertising flair. Whether you remember humming the jingle as a kid or you love retro pop-culture icons, this t-shirt is a fun way to wear a piece of Australian visual history.
Key features:
Premium cotton blend for comfort and durability
Screen-printed graphic replicating the classic Louie the Fly illustration
Unisex fit — suitable for fans of vintage advertising, pop culture, collectors, and everyday wear
A great conversation starter and nostalgic gift for Australians or anyone who loves vintage design and quirky icons
Wear it to a retro night, a casual outing, or simply when you’re feeling a little mischievous — because Louie still knows how to fly in style.
