Do You Wear The World?

By collecting fabrics from all around the world in places like Australia, Ghana, Brazil, and even our very own US of A, Serengetee is trying to give everyone the chance to wear the world.

But their goal is not only to provide the planet with stylish merchandise.

Serengetee was founded in 2012 by a group of college friends that had traveled the world on Semester at Sea, which sparked the idea.

As their Facebook states, “Since the beginning, our mission has been simple: to connect people to the globe through fabric while giving back to the communities that inspire and create our designs.”

All of the fabrics are paired up with a partner cause located in that fabric’s same region. For example, the image below is me wearing one of my Serengetee tees (sorry for the awful instagram screenshot).

The fabric I have on is called Ashton and it comes from the land down under. This cool Australian pattern’s partner cause is 5 Gyres. On Serengetee’s website, a description of each partner cause and a video is placed at the bottom of each fabric’s page.

You can check out Ashton here and learn more about 5 Gyres here.

Another beautiful part of Serengetee is the amount of choices the customer has. With over 100 fabrics to choose from, and products that range from v-neck tees to 5 panel hats, your purchase is sure to be as unique as you are.

Along with choosing the fabric that you like, you are also choosing the cause that you would like the portion of your proceeds to go to. How cool is that? You get to get new things AND do a good deed.

How can this Serengetee company get any cooler, you ask? Well, every week the company holds a “Fan of the Week” contest.

To be entered, all you have to do is post to their Facebook page or post a picture on Instagram with the hashtag “Fan of the Week” of yourself wearing your Serengetee doing whatever it is that you do (the cooler the better). You are then entered for a chance to win a free Serengetee of your choice. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

With almost 300,000 fans on Facebook and counting, Serengetee is working hard to expand to as many people as possible.

Check them out here and follow them on FacebookInstagram, and Twitter! Spread the word about this fantastic brand and remember to always #WearTheWorld!
