FABLETICS: Urban Graffiti Outfit
Our collection this month has a really urban feel this month with street art inspired prints created by New York graffiti legend Stash. His first canvas was exhibited alongside the artworks of street art pioneers Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Stash’s love of the urban environment shows through in all the artwork he creates, be it his paintings or photography. We were lucky enough to not only collaborate with him to create this month’s print for our clothing line, featuring “Fabletics” incorporated into graffiti, but also had him donate his art to our company cafe.
Fabletics is a member-based online store for fitness apparel created by Kate Hudson. Their clothing is designed to transport you from the fitness studio to real life, with a wide offering of sizes, styles, colours and patterns for cute workout clothes. There are two types of Fabletics members – regular and VIP. Regular members can sign up for free with just their e-mail address and password, then shop for sports equipment anytime they want at regular prices. VIP members get offers on clothing and free shipping, but they will be charged a monthly fee of $49.95 which can be applied to purchases, unless they choose to “skip” the month.

Usually, most of us think of laundry as a drag. But what if it is fun? The products in this month’s kit invite you to reconnect in gratitude for the joy of washing, thinking of laundry as small daily ceremonies of renewal that are in harmony with the environment and resonate with the traditions of earth-centered livelihoods all over the world.
Use your laundry bag to happily, and functionally, walk to the laundromat, the basement, the riverside, or wherever your laundry trips take you. The word laundry at least comes from its charming Latin root, lavāre–to wash. The act of doing laundry connects us to our ancestors, while the products in your kit connect you to the numerous ways this tradition is performed all over the world. Enjoy!
