FAIR TRADE
We choose fair trade because believe every life has equal value. In 2018 your support has helped us to create 185 days of fair trade employment, through the production of our apparel.
We are proud to work with two Kiwi owned businesses which provide fair-trade employment to workers. Fair trade saves and makes lives. It also provides freedom from poverty through employment opportunity.
Printing on these high-quality, organic & ethical garments, we produce our apparel as limited edition artworks. (Image courtesy of Firdaus Roslan).
SUSTAINABILITY
We choose high quality materials that don’t cost the earth.
- Our t-shirts are made from high-quality 100% organic cotton - pesticide free and rain water fed.
- Our tote bags are made from durable natural hemp fibre.
- Our boards are crafted in-house: carved from recycled oak wine-barrel, rimu, or from renewable local macrocarpa and blackwood.
FOR EVERY BOARD SOLD, A NATIVE TREE IS PLANTED.
Join us in doing good with art and business through our range of cause t-shirts, tote bags and board art. (Image courtesy of Little Yellow Bird).
