It’s time to change your tee shirt!  Instead of wearing a tee shirt made of conventional cotton, slip on an organic cotton tee.  Think it doesn’t make a difference?  2.4% of the total agricultural land in the world is planted with cotton, yet it accounts for 25% of all insecticides and more than 10% of all pesticides used.  A change to organic cotton means we could improve the quality of our soil, our water and the health of millions of people.

To celebrate changing to a healthier earth, we invite you to enter our Eco Earth Sweepstakes. All you have to do is answer 3 questions about our hessnatur statement tees and win one of 3 eco gift cards:

1^st Prize: a $500 eco gift card

2^nd Prize: a $250 eco gift card

3^rd Prize: a $100 eco gift card

Enter Now!

Congratulations!  You are the winners of the hessnatur “The You are What You Wear Contest”! We hope you’ll enjoy wearing! — Statement tee shirts that are pure and beautiful in every way.

Michelle won with her comment: This tee reflects my philosophy that all life on earth is part of one living, breathing organism. Each choice we make in our own lives – however seemingly small or insignificant – has implications reaching far and wide. If we come to respect this oneness and make thoughtful choices every day, we can live this “one life” that we all share in harmony for the greater good.

Julie won with her comment: This tee carries my message because I was raised to respect both my mother and mother earth! It is so important that we respect our mothers (both earth and biological) because they gave us life! Without them, we’d never exist! We need to do all we can to take care of them and show them love! We owe them our lives!

Rachel won with her comment: It’s important for us to make the connections between the environmental destruction and our economics. I think our overemphasis on growth has driven much of the destruction. This t-shirts captures some of the effects in the reverse direction: The environmental destruction will impact us economically, not just ecologically. Maybe once this becomes obvious, people will start to act. Hopefully, it won’t be too late by then.

Meghann won with her comment: When we choose to wear naturally grown cotton, we are choosing to preserve the life of this planet and our own lives as well.

We’re so delighted you entered “The You are What You Wear Contest” and hope you’ll love your new wardrobe.

All the best and, again, congratulations!

Exclusive Preview Summer Collection 2010

To create awareness of the importance of wearing organic cotton, our very own designer, Simone Janintz, created a tee made from cotton grown and harvested at the hessnatur organic cotton project in Burkina Faso.

The message, “the flowers of tomorrow are the seeds of today” on the outline of the African continent, doesn’t just speak to the cotton itself, but also to the belief that the environmental seeds we plant today will determine the flowers of our future.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

Created from organic cotton grown at the hessnatur organic farming project in Burkina Faso, West Africa, the tee was produced at Grameen Knitwear in Bangladesh, part of the network founded by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.

Created by world-renowned designer and hessnatur creative director, Miguel Adrover, the message is simple and direct: Respect your Mother.  But in this case, the Mother he refers to is, literally, the mother of us all, the earth.  It’s a tee your Mom would be happy to see you wear.
Created without harmful toxins or dyes, the pure organic cotton tee respects the people who grew the cotton and produced the tee, as well as the earth.
