Aloha Muriel has grown out of inspiration for Kaira’s great aunt Muriel and evolved into mask collections for sale with partial or all proceeds going towards charity, trying to promote the idea of spreading love and positive vibes, not germs.
The White T-Shirt Project brought together 36 creatives to assemble a vision of a white t-shirt for a live eBay auction to benefit their selected charity. Pieces went live on May 13, 2020.
The Bikini Tee
With our faces covered, beaches closed, and the current need to spread positivity and love more than ever, this bikini tee is inspired by the idea of still wearing a smile you can share ...and keeping our dreams of future summer beach days alive. Like a white t-shirt, simple and effortless, smiling at someone is such an easy way to wear your heart on your sleeve and brighten the day.
Proceeds donated to CASA/LA
CASA/LA - an organization that mobilizes community volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse and neglect to help their vision of a Los Angeles in which every child in the child welfare system has an advocate and the opportunity to thrive. The funds will be used to directly purchase items CASA children have recently asked for.
