Vinretro Clothing Giving Back

Tis the season for cheer and giving. Vinretro Clothing believes in looking good, saving the Earth and helping others. So what better time than the holiday season to announce that from now on (continuing indefinitely) Vinretro Clothing will be donating 10% of gross receipts to Kiva. Kiva is a powerful organization that empowers local business men and women to help grow a business for their family. They team up with micro loan organizations from around the world.

Micro loans are a powerful way to fight poverty with entrepreneurship, innovation and common sense. These loans have low interest and provide opportunities to local business that would otherwise be out of reach. Through the power of business owners who passionately care about their community, we can attack poverty one loan at a time.

One of the most powerful things about these micro loans is that they have an incredibly high repayment rate - and all money repaid can then be loaned out again to another business! That means the power of banking can be used to raise a new class of pioneer and business owner and begin changing the world one community at a time.

Why are micro loans so powerful? Without these low interest opportunities, many people would be unable to grow their business and move beyond their current level of poverty. This limits the options that their neighbors and communities have in terms of available products. It also reduces the resources available to be reinvested in the community. Micro loans help break the vicious cycle by allowing options in a community to grow, prices to decrease and business to thrive.

Vinretro Clothing is a small business itself. We understand the empowerment and excitement that comes from running our business. We hope to grow and create jobs and wealth in our community - and while we work toward that goal we want to help others achieve their similar dreams.

New Business Leadership Books Website

This is a little off beat, but one of Vinretro's other passions is business and business leadership (go figure! Why else would we start a vintage t shirt business if we didn't love it!). The leadership is that everyone, at some point, is a leader. Check out leadership tips and reviews of the best leadership books over at bestleadershipbooks.net

Caring for Vintage T Shirts

Vintage T Shirts offer the opportunity to sport one of a kind, historical pieces of art. If you buy an authentic vintage tee, then you KNOW you won’t run into a bunch of other folks with that shirt. Replace “Hey, I have that same shirt” with “Hey, WHERE did you get that?”

But now that you have found your super cool vintage t shirt – how do you make sure it lasts years and years? Follow the tips below and you can build your collection of one-of-a-kind t shirts without having to say ‘goodbye’ to your favorite threads any time soon:

1. Washing by hand is the most environmentally sound and gentle solution, but not the only method. If you want to save some time you can throw it in the washer – just don’t use heat. Also, beware of detergents with a lot of chemicals. Get something with fewer chemicals or made for sensitive skin. This will help keep your vintage t shirt in great condition for a LOOONG time.

2. Also, prevent wear and tear by letting the shirts hang dry. It’s free, and it will make a huge difference in the life of your t shirt.

3. Hey, these are basically works of art! Don’t just stuff them in a box or in the attic. Store these threads in your house. Keep them away from extreme heat. Extreme heat = BAD. This is true when washing your shirts, too.

4. FOLD vintage t shirts, don’t hang. Look, if you have to hang, it isn’t the end of the world. Shirts from Vinretro are in pristine condition and don’t need intense mothering – but if you have the option, fold. Folding puts less pressure on the shirt and will prolong the life. Look, don’t just leave them sitting crumpled in the bottom of your clothes basket either.

5. ROTATE! Look, your shirt kicks ass – but that doesn’t mean you have to wear it everyday… Buy enough to go around. Check out www.vinretro.net every week to see our newest stock and load up on a wardrobe of unique vintage t shirts.
