T-shirts with a story: Rosa Loves

Pedro


Rosa Loves is not your usual t-shirt company. Their objective is to help individuals in need by telling their stories in a t-shirt and selling it. A percentage (I don't know what the numbers are) of the money raised goes back to those individuals. Their motto is "Designed for good" and each t-shirt on sale tells a different story through a graphic design and a text that appears on the inverse of the shirt. Their latest t-shirt is called "The Sharkar Family" and was inspired by the life of hardship of a Bangladeshi family.




Here is their mission objective (taken from their site):

"We hope to encourage individual people to get involved in the community around them on a somewhat tangible scale. We will accomplish this by providing financial support to those in need by infiltrating the t-shirt industry with a new perspective of how clothing can serve a purpose other than outfitting. Everyone has a story. Everyone has a need. By using art and creativity, we hope to foster hope and encouragement through the aid of apparel."

Tee-critic: Your Eyes Lie

Pedro
So, I first came across the Your Eyes Lie store on another t-shirt blog and found their designs really hip. I had a hard time choosing a couple of tees to buy just because they have so many things on offer. I ended  up going for Yellow Bear and Miss Green. It was incredibly expensive (I think it was the first time I payed so much for t-shirts ordered online), but I liked the designs that much.

My order arrived in the mail this week. I'm satisfied with the t-shirts, but the Yellow Bear design is different from the one shown on the site (it has a square instead of a circle) and the two t-shirts are not the same size (despite the fact they are both size S). It's not that big of a deal, but for that price, I expected being sent what I payed for.

On top of that, the order did not include a receipt and the tees smelled like they had just come off the presses (which is not very pleasant). Not impressed. I sent them an e-mail on Friday and I'm still waiting for a reply. Until then, I will not order from them again. It's a shame, because their designs are alarmingly cool.

Back to normal programming

Pedro


I'm back from Paredes de Coura. I was there working (half of the time at least), so I ended up not photographing the majority of all those cool tees walking by. Anyway, updates here will hopefully go back to normal. I'm even planning on publishing my first "review" of a t-shirt company. I can already tell you I was not impressed. More tomorrow. Cheers.

...

Pedro
I'm away for a few days, as I'm in Paredes de Coura, "one of the best five" music summer festivals in Europe :-) Lots of original tees around, but few chances of actually photographing them. Will try harder.

When you bring a camera to the workplace and have nothing better to do, what do you do? Take pictures of your co-workers cool t-shirts, of course :-P
