No, we’re not just another t-shirt site. We like good design and fashion but we also think that, as artists, and friends of artists, we can do something big by teaming up our collective voice to help people who need it. Firstly, we aim to help the artists who participate – we do this in many ways, but mainly by allowing every designer to retain the rights to their artwork and by giving them 10% of the proceeds on each sale. Next, we want our artists and customers to feel that they are participating in something that is making a difference so we will match every purchase by donating to a community in need.
We believe in sustainability. Goodfibres clothes will always be fair-trade and eco-sensitive. We don’t want to waste tons of money or fuel shipping donated items across the planet so we plan to team up with local manufacturing plants around the world so that we can produce locally and donate locally. By doing this we believe it helps the area by providing new business opportunities and other local areas by providing donated clothing or other resources such as school and art supplies. We think it’s a win-win for the artist, the producer and the wearer. So when you purchase goodfibres clothing you are doing more than getting a cool shirt – you are supporting artists worldwide.
As we grow we hope to raise additional funds so that we can help impoverished areas in other ways such as buying medicine, drinking water and other necessary goods. Join us and let's do some good!
