T-shirts with a story: Rosa Loves



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."

about
TeeLovers is a blog about t-shirts made by people with a thing for short sleeve.
So why all the love? As Melissa Campbell put it, "it's a simple cotton garment, but it encapsulates sex, politics, high art and street style." And because there's no stronger statement than the one you wear on your chest.
