Charitee

I’m a big fan of Guerilla Gardening, so I was chuffed to discover that there is also such a thing as Guerilla T-shirt Design too.

Charitee is a collective of anonymous activists designers, who create one-off designer t-shirts and donate them to charity shops.

Not only does this that if one of the t-shirts is bought then 100% of the money has gone to the charity you bought it from, but each t-shirt is a unique piece of art.

Charitee is encouraging other designers to join the movement and design exciting t-shirts for their favourite charity shop.  For more information and to follow the collective’s activity online at www.charitee.org.uk or follow activity online on Twitter
