Fashionable, colorful and eco-friendly, three words that come to mind when you see Rain Tees. Not only are the shirts beautiful, but for every one that is sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest will receive a tree to plant to help repopulate their area.
These tee shirts are designed from drawings made by children living in endangered rain forests in Central and South America. The company donates crayons, paint and other supplies to the children to have them create what they see around them. From toucans to hummingbirds, love birds and a monkey bridge, the result is beautiful shirts that draw attention to the thoughts and images surrounding the lives of kids living in these areas.
The tank tops and tees are made for women, children and toddlers. They are created near the Amazon in Peru using 100% organic Peruvian cotton and eco-friendly dyes. The employees working at the factories making the Rain Tees are paid 25% above average wages.
The Joison tee, a bold multicolored shirt made by a boy named Joison from Ecuador, was featured on the runway at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Los Angeles. Similar to the Joison tee, each shirt includes details on the name, country and inspiration of the creator.
These clothes are not only attractive, but support children, the environment and are made by a company with a firm commitment to high labor standards.
