Change the World and Look Good Doing It-GeboMana


Giving gifts the GeboMana way - fashionable organic T-shirts

With GeboMana, changing the world is as simple as changing your T-shirt.
GeboMana ships limited-edition, organic T-shirts; highly fashionable and handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia.

Each T-shirt comes hand-numbered as part of a limited edition range.

But what happens next is what has already caught the attention of people across the world, many weeks before the official launch of Gebomana.com. Every time 5 T-shirts are shipped an underprivileged child can start an education.
“It’s great receiving things from others but it feels so much better to be the one giving. So, here’s to 2010 the year for JOY to give!!! Watch my GeboMana giving tree grow!!! ;)” Joy P, London, UK
For the inaugural series of GeboMana T-shirts, “Bali Art goes to New York”, designers were briefed to incorporate traditional Eastern culture fused with fashion-forward, modern designs. Each design is screen printed by hand, then embellished and decorated by experts in Bali. The most elaborate GeboMana designs take a full eight hours to decorate!

Each T-shirt is handcrafted using certified organic Indian cotton, knitted to a superior cotton jersey for GeboMana. It’s shipped in an exclusive gift-box, direct to consumers in over 65 countries.

So wherever you are, it’s easy to start changing the world.
“Overall, great job guys! The T-shirts are lovely (very unique designs) and the packaging simple but very effective!" Marian F, Red Deer, Canada

The brainchild of Mike Boorn, of Sydney, Australia, GeboMana has been in constant development for the past four years. As such, the organisation has been launched as a strong collaboration that stretches across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia; with contributions from graphics artists, fashion designers and
craftspeople on different continents.

But that’s just where the giving starts. When you give the gift of GeboMana, you’re giving the gift of on-the ground education to underprivileged children in developing countries. You’re giving them the chance to lift themselves out of poverty and into prosperity.

All it takes is 5 T-shirts to give a child that gift of education in sustainable practices for a full year.

GeboMana makes it easy and convenient to give great fashion gifts and change lives at the same time. All you have to do is visit the site, www.GeboMana.com and click “New to GeboMana”. Within minutes you’ll be on your way to turning gift-giving into education!
"…just wanted to say a big thank you for my T-shirt.. It’s by far my favourite... Love your work, I'm a big fan."
