DID YOU KNOW?
1 in 9 Kiwi women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer over their lifetime?
25 men each year are diagnosed
9 women every day are diagnosed.
Over 650 Kiwi women die of Breast Cancer each year.
This is perfect if you want to contribute to our MEGA $25,000 donation to the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation, but don't need another towelie, because you already own 6 or more 🤣
Or if you just want to start donating now!
We're aiming for $25,000 and anything over that will blow mine & The Breast Cancer Foundations wee socks off!
Wanna help us raise $25,000 *or more* for charity?
Did you know 1 in 9 Kiwi women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime?
And 650 kiwi women die of breast cancer every year?
This is blimmin wild! Especially when the Breast Cancer Foundation reckon we can get to no breast cancer deaths within NZ… Hence them spending most of their pennies on raising awareness so people go get their checks!
Why?
1. One of my best pals had breast cancer. As you can imagine it changed her life. In more ways than I’ll mention here. But when she got a Towelie she started swimming again (she hadn’t for like 5-6 years).. Because she had her own portable change room to get changed under by the lake / beach / swimming pool etc.
2. Almost all of us know someone who’s been affected by it.
3. When you’re out using your Towelie at the beach / lake etc it will hopefully spark conversations with others and *create even more awareness*
4. $25,000 is a chunk of money that could really have an impact and that fizzes me up!
5. The Breast Cancer Foundation NZ rely solely on donations.
The plan:
- Design some EPIC boobie covered towelies (with the help from our customers) and donate 100% of PROFITS to Breast Cancer NZ
I think we can do it!
All donations are appreciated 💕
THE PLAN:
- We’ll show you before we sample it / make any changes we need to
- Our STOKEDNZ communit) get to choose the colours etc
- We’ll open pre orders
- Gaz and I want to DONATE 100% of profits from this collection.
The deets:
- Draw an outline of boobs (make the lines relatively thick because we weave the design into the Towelie…) You don’t need to be an artist!
- Send us your image in a jpeg file
- We need all boobs by Friday 24th May
- Email them to us info@stokednz.co.nz
NZ OWNED & OPERATED
Whilst NZ made would be rad, you can't grow Turkish Cotton in New Zealand, obviously. And honestly we love the two families we work with in Turkey. Looming Turkish Cotton is a skill that has been passed down for generations and we are stoked we get to be a part of that.
NZ made is getting a lot of coverage and kudos right now and while I am all for it, I personally think we should be asking bigger questions here. Such as:
- "Are our makers paid fairly for their work?"
- "Do they have an epic working environment?"
- "Are they happy?"
NZ made does not guarantee any of the above questions, nor does it guarantee amazing quality.
OUR COTTON
Our Turkish Towels and Towelies are made with extra long cotton fibres, meaning they are incredibly durable and actually get softer, fluffier and more absorbent with washing.
Turkish cotton has world renowned properties such as:
- Quick-drying preventing mildew.
- Super packable
- Very absorbent and can hold up to 3 x their weight in water.
Don't just take our word for it, see what HUNDREDS of our happy customers have to say here.
