Wednesday’s Giveaway is Green (But Pink Actually)
[Congratulations to Asma Ahmad. YOU could be next!] One of us here at GirlfriendCelebrations.com is “not a T-shirt kind of girl.” The other Girlfriend-In-Chief lives in t-shirts and jeans. While we may not agree on what to wear, we do agree that recycled T-shirts can be stylish and fun gifts—when they come from ReTeez, who is generously sponsoring today’s giveaway! The innovative team at ReTeez Inc. is giving new purpose to previously loved T-shirts by transforming them into irresistible new items. From one-of-a-kind totes and handbags to funky pet products; and from fashion accessories to merchandise for the home, ReTeez re-makes old T-shirts new again!
Each ReTeez item is handmade in North America and every part of the T Shirt is used – even the hems are made into dog toys!
ReTeez products are more than a gift to the recipient. They are a bigger gift to the environment. When discarded Ts are “up-cycled” by ReTeez, they no longer end up as landfill seeping bleaches and dyes into the ground. ”It’s an idea whose time has come” explains ReTeez owner Hope Milner. “We are all aware of the environmental effects of plastic bags and paper, but little has been done about discarded clothing and textiles. We hope that by creating fashionable and useful recycled products we can save up to 10,000 T-shirts a year from the landfill”.
The winner of today’s giveaway will receive an original hand-made ReTeez Tote, similar to the ones pictured. Except, this one is bright pink with a Mary Engelbreit design. Each ReTeez tote is washed with eco-friendly detergent, reinforced with interfacing, lined with recycled fabric and comes complete with an inner pocket. Good luck!

Adorable! As a professional organizer, I love when something that would otherwise turn into clutter gets transformed into having a new life, serving a new purpose. Plus, I love that ReTeez also has a charitable program, using part of their revenues to support building schools in Mozambique. I’m definitely going to promote their efforts in one of my upcoming newsletters.

How cool! I could definitely see myself rocking one of these classy totes at the grocery store. I love reusable bags and I need to get more, so this would be great! Thanks so much for the chance!
