  • Part of our first-ever collaboration with UNC Wilmington’s Plastic Ocean Project (POP), this tee was designed by student activists who are turning the tide on plastic pollution. Their hand-drawn design blends marine life with plastic debris to reflect the reality of our oceans today—and the urgency to act. Framed in a bold stripe inspired by vintage surfwear, this tee is a visual call to action.  

     

    Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats facing our oceans, and UNCW POP is fighting it head-on. In just one school year, they’ve removed over 825 pounds of plastic waste from local environments. With every purchase, 10% of profits directly support UNCW POP’s mission: student-led research, community outreach, and hands-on cleanups. Vintage surf style, student-made impact. 

     

    All of our products are made to order in an effort to reduce overproduction, so please allow 1-2 weeks for orders to ship.

        Our clothing manufacturers produce virtually zero waste because they recycle everything that can’t be turned into clothing. The facilities are solar-powered, use eco-friendly dyes, and use efficient machines that require 7x less water than the average clothing manufacturer, and they filter and recycle the water that is used. Having our products be made to order, combined with ethically sourced and sustainably made garments, has created opportunities to further reduce the waste and impacts within the apparel supply chain.
