The Fashion-Conscience line of printed T’s
These T’s are about showing off your social conscience without all of the pretentiousness. The idea is to raise awareness and a little money for something that we believe in, all while looking good doing it.
How it works:
Periodically District Cotton will sponsor design contests focusing on a particular social theme or issue. Winning designs will be printed on our 100% organic cotton T’s, with 10% of the proceeds going back to support an organization involved with the cause.
Our Current Contest:
For the launch of our line, the first contest theme was: “This T-shirt supports an organic farmer.” Accordingly, 10% of the proceeds from the sale of these shirts will go directly to the Northeast Organic Farming Association. As a confederation of Organic Farmers Associations from seven states, NOFA works to encourage organic farming in the Northeast by educating gardeners, farmers, and consumers about the benefits of organic farming.
