Plus, you will receive your work (donated by Laura Warner) on a shirt that is fully circular & sustainable (and, of course, vegan).

About our new shop:
We wanted a shop that aligns more with our values. So we did our research and found one that we are excited to support and offer to those who share these important values.

What makes our new shop so great?
- GM-free.
- Not tested on animals & no animal-derived products.
- Printed with low-waste printing.
- Products are made from natural materials & sustainable packaging.
- Products are designed from the start to be sent back and remade into new ones once they’re worn out, keeping materials out of landfill.
- Made in a renewable energy powered factory audited for a wide range of social and sustainability criteria (organic, circular).
