Clothing for a good cause?

Does anyone know of any clothing companies/brands that donate part of their profits to a good cause?

Answer #1

Buy stuff from the RED Campaign. Go to www.joinred.com to see what kind of stuff yu can buy.

WHAT IS RED?

(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world’s most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

What’s the meaning of the parentheses or brackets? Well, we call them “the embrace.” Each company that becomes (RED) places its logo in this embrace and is then elevated to the power of red. Thus the name – (PRODUCT)RED.

You, the consumer, can take your purchase to the power of (RED) simply by upgrading your choice. Thus the proposition: (YOU)RED. Be embraced, take your own fine self to the power of (RED). What better way to become a good-looking samaritan?!

Some of the companies that work with this campaing are:

-Motorola -American Express credit card -Gap (Only their RED line though, not the whole store) -Emporio Armani -Converse -Apple (Their RED iPods) -Hallmark cards -Dell -And Windows

Answer #2

one brand of clothes I like is “No Sweat” brand. AFAIK they do not donate part of their profits to charity but they do not sell any clothes made in sweatshops. Much of the cheap clothes we wear are produced by workers in awful conditions. Some cheap clothes are made by kids who work 12+ hour days for starvation wages.
