much as we each want to look ravishing strutting down market street it is no doubt more important that we do so in a beautiful environment. most conventional methods of cotton production would disgust the stoniest of hearts, and frankly put you off that lovely slice of cake. raisin cake is totally dedicated to preserving our fragile planet and all products are organically sourced. the t-shirts that you purchase have been grown naturally and in doing so provide for a better quality of life for the hardworking farmers. without them we would have no t-shirts. without them we would be naked.
Bags
you can feel the warmth of sincerity ooze even before the t-shirt touches your skin. each bag is made from recycled newspaper and provided by a special non-government-organisation (NGO) founded in 2004 by street children.
it all started after a group of indian children, saved from desperate circumstances, set up a bag making business and through the profits of this were each able to take in thirteen children from the streets of delhi. each bag purchased continues this cycle and provides hope for the future of these young people.
T-Shirts (Okarma)
finally you can now ethically attire yourself and gently acquire the finest quality. oh yes... from putting a little heart back into sourcing and producing garments our suppliers do provide a "class-act" in terms of this humble attire.
100% organic cotton fibres make up these soft, neatly fitting t-shirts and you can rest in the knowledge that: no nasty chemical synthetic pesticides or fertilisers have been used.
there is absolutely none ... zero .... definitely and perfectly no conventional cotton in them at all. and this means that no farmers have suffered from pesticide poisoning to produce the t-shirt's cotton fibre.
guaranteed gm free that's not all ....okarma track each process from seed to shop and have sturdy relations with the farmers, dedicated to their security and happiness. (they are much happier on these non-pesticide ridden farms).
Locally Sourced
so now you know the ins and outs of the t-shirts my friends but it doesn't end there. the final magical stage actually isn't magic.... its burt.
burt provides the pre-heated oven into which our raisin dough is lovingly placed. and as you wouldn't travel all the way across europe just to bake your favourite cake, he is located in the fair town of dundee, a place we all know and love!
