Editor’s Notes: Noah has partnered with aid organization All Hands and Hearts on a new T-shirt design with aim of raising awareness of and fundraising for the people of The Bahamas. The drop arrives in the wake of Hurricane Dorian, which according to a CNN report published earlier today, has left 17 percent of Bahamians homeless.
The tee arrives in two colorways, yellow and white, with "Bahamas" written on the front and a palm tree and sunset graphic on the reverse above the famous John Donne quote, "No man is an island." All proceeds go to All Hands and Hearts, whose work emphasizes on delivering quick, effective disaster response and long-term community-based reconstruction.
In an accompanying blog post (assumedly penned by Noah's founder, Brendon Babenzien), the brand contextualized the importance of the T-shirt. "In a few weeks, we'll have been through this year's Fashion Week parties, updated our wardrobes for fall, and moved on from considering the horrors of this natural disaster."
The post continues, "But many Bahamians will still be living a nightmare. Please help us do something that can actually contribute to their relief by buying this T-shirt. And let it serve as an inspiration to visit this island nation if you've never been there, so you can see for yourself how special and beautiful its people and places are. No man is an island."
