I’m really excited about this giveaway for several reasons! First, this is another chance for one of my lucky readers to win a great prize! But, secondly, I’m partnering with a friend from grad school on this one, so I’m particularly excited.
I’m always impressed by true entrepreneurs—especially ones who are brave enough to launch their businesses during bad economic times—so I’m very proud of my former grad school classmate, Louie Lam, and his wife for opening their online store, Cute Brands. Cute Brands is an eco-friendly line of children’s and adults’ clothes.
The Cute Brands clothing pieces are emblazoned with several different characters. Each character has a back story and helps bring social awareness about a different environmental crisis. You can read about each character and his/her cause on the Cute Brands website. To top it all off, the company donates a percentage of its annual profits to charities dedicated to helping endangered animals. It’s great to find a small business that’s environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and charitable. Join me in supporting this wonderful store—plus the clothes are super cute to boot!
Louie was kind enough to send me a Love Panda shirt for myself and a Kung Fu Tiger shirt for my son. I’ve worn mine twice already. It’s really soft and fits really well (you can see me sporting it in the picture above). Unfortunately, my son has been a sick, snotty mess for a few days now, so I haven’t been able to get a good picture of him wearing his Kung Fu shirt. But it’s also nice and soft, so I’m sure he will really like it once he’s back to his normal self. My only criticism is that the sizes run small, so be sure to order up at least one size for your kids.
