New Store Signage

We just created new store signage and posted on our Facebook Fan Page for store personnel to download and print. We made displays focusing on our summer collection with marketing information about each material in the photo. Our theme is nautical and titled Sirens + Sailors. We're sailing in New England this August to promote Organik, visit our retailers and set up pop-up shops during the ten day tour. We'll be loaded with stand up paddle boards, surfboards along with wine and cheese for our VIPs.

Recycled Plastic Bottles

Our new cut and sew crew neck heather blend tees are made with plastic from post-consumer recycled plastic soda bottles. 6 plastic bottles are saved from landfills and used to make each Organik t-shirt. That's impressive because our heather blend tees are fifty percent recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) and fifty percent organic cotton that is grown with without toxic chemicals and pesticides. We've up the game this year by producing these t-shirts and all of our apparel in the USA. We also increased the percentage of recycled plastic from thirteen percent to fifty percent, which is a huge undertaking and commitment for us. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), two-thirds less energy is required to manufacture products made from recycled plastic. 
 
Other benefits to using products made from recycled plastic include:
 
reducing sulphur dioxide
nitrous oxide
water usage in production
dependence on oil
reduce landfill waste
reduce environmental pollution

FBI X Organik Collaboration

We just released a super limited edition Organik X From Big Island collaboration t-shirt. This past winter, Ossian of FBI and I were surfing Pine Trees in Kailua Kona. He asked me when we're gonna do a collaboration project, but I thought he was kidding. This was serious matter and I was humbled by the opportunity to work with the FBI originator. In case you were wondering, FBI is a huge deal in Kona with every surfer and teen wearing an FBI shirt, trucker hat or sticker slapped on a surfboard or truck.

I went over to the FBI office and we brainstormed the shirt material, color and artwork design. We printed less than fifty of this original design on our cut and sew polyester/organic cotton blend in heather dark grey. FYI, the polyester is made from recycled plastic bottles. Since polyester is made from plastic, six plastic bottles are reused to create this heather blend. The remaining half is made from 100% certified organic cotton, which is cotton grown without any chemicals or pesticides. All of our new cut and sew garments are proudly made in the U.S.A. The collabo design is printed by hand using waterbased inks. The overall look and feel is vintage softness.

Finally, we're stoked to introduce to you an original design by FBI X Organik.

The following Big Island retailers will have the shirts in stock next week:

Kona Boys in Kealakekua
Eight Rocks at the Shops at Mauna Lani
Kawaihae Surf & Sand
Hula Moon in Waimea
