British fashion and lifestyle brand Wool and the Gang is teaming up with
Vivienne Westwood’s Climate Revolution, a campaign founded by the designer
to support environmental and human rights issues, on a new collaboration,
to raise funds for the organisation.
Wool and the Gang, known for supplying its products ready-made as well
as knit kits, has co-designed a beanie, the Crown Hat, with 25 percent of
the profits being donated to Cool Earth to support the charity’s work to
protect endangered rainforests.
The Crown Hat kit, which comes supplied with all items you need to craft
the item yourself is priced 35 pounds, while the ready-made beanie is 85
pounds, both are available via the Wool and the Gang website.
“As a fashion brand in the sustainable space and determined to operate
in ways that impact positively on the environment, the missions of both
Climate Revolution and Cool Earth are very close to our hearts.” explains
Jade Harwood, co-founder of Wool and the Gang. “As a business we have
always had a long-term aim to align with not-for-profit causes, NGOs and
charities that we can support creatively.”
Vivienne Westwood, founder of Climate Revolution added: “We are
committed to educating people about the need to campaign, protest and
create alliances to raise awareness of the huge threat climate change
presents and to help push it up the agenda of our world leaders.
“We know we can’t do this work on our own, and we welcome Wool and the
Gang with open arms to help us with our cause.”
