Wildlife Works Soy/Cotton Tee Giveaway
Click here for Natural Beauty Week Giveaways and more!
This is a tough review to write. That’s because I have so much to share with you, and I don’t know where to start: The hip organic clothing line or the amazing cause behind it all. The whole purpose behind Wildlife Works is far from average. They are the first business in the entire world to build their brand for the main purpose of wildlife conservation. When I say I’m floored with what they’ve accomplished, I’m not kidding. Wildlife Works is responsible for protecting wilderness habitats, creating jobs, and building schools in areas that have agreed to share their land with the wildlife. They’ve even created an 80,000 acre wildlife sanctuary in Kenya; right next door is an Eco-factory they built that employs locals and produces some of their products. When you buy their clothing, you support their valiant efforts.
So what about that clothing? It’s not only all organic and made of things like natural soy and cotton, it’s so stylish. One thing I’ve noticed (and according to your comments, you have too) children’s clothing is hard to find when it comes to organic. Babies? Yes. Adults? You bet. Kids? Nope. But Wildlife Works has a line of clothing for all ages.
I’ve been wearing a classic tee from Wildlife Works that I’m - well, wild about. It’s made of an organic soy/cotton blend, and the cut is totally unique. The puffed sleeves and longer fitted length actually looks good enough to put with some of my skirts. The design is inspired by the natural habitat of their Kenyan sanctuary; Wildlife Works boasts a whole line of these habitat-inspired designs. Comfy, dressy, and buying one helps protect that precious wildlife.
Wildlife Works is giving one of these Puff Sleeve V-Neck Tees ($68 retail) to one dkMommy Spot reader. (The winner even gets to choose the right size: Extra Small, Small, Medium, or Large.) I always ask readers to visit the site and take a look around, and again I ask. But please take a little extra notice in what this company is about.

I love that companies are giving back from their profits. It makes the price of organic much more palatable! The clothes are lovely, though, especially the evening line. I’d wear these for sure! Thanks!

“We’re achieving this by protecting wilderness habitats, creating jobs, building schools and providing other economic benefits for those people who share their land and resources with wildlife. ”
wow! I love them! they have projects EVERYWHERE! I love that they are helping the Gorillas, that is one that is near a dear to me. and they have future plans to help the pandas. I am so happy you shared them with us! I have to be honest though, I haven’t even looked at the clothes yet! I will head there now.

They “created the 80,000-acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary, where elephants, cheetahs and 45 other large mammal species now roam freely.” Cool!

I think it’s great that Wildlife Works are helping to build schools. Members of our church go to Ghana every year to help build schools, houses, and churches. We are commited to go the summer my kids are of age.

I love Wildlife Works. Most of my current wardrobe is animal print based but to find a company that not only make this type of clothing but also supports wildlife conservation—that’s fantastic!
I would love to win this awesome shirt.
August 29th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

The clothing is absolutely gorgeous and I can see why you had a hard time controlling your excitement over this company and clothing.
I too, am quite impressed. I was happy to learn that this company promises that they use proceeds of sales to save endangered and threatened wildlife. How very important; so many businesses rape, pillage and burn in an attempt to acquire sales with total disregard to our wildlife.
I don’t know of a better cause than protecting our environment and creating economic benefits for those that share the land. It works out for everyone; including the consumer who knows he’s made the right choice.
I am grateful to you too, dkMommy, for promoting only those products that are of benefit not simply to your sponsor but to the whole earth. I truly am impressed.

I was drawn to the T’s and Jeans category (the essentials!). I love the shadow tree print in a puff sleeve v-neck. I will have to get my sister an elephant tee. I wish they had all the prints available in the t-dress. It looks so comfy!
August 29th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I am SO impressed by this company and their mission! It’s nice to hear that they do more than put pictures of cute animals on their clothing — they are actually making an effort to protect them. Keep telling us about companies like these. The whole world needs to know about them!

August 29th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Oh do I love their clothes - so practical, yet cute. My favoritye is the African Print Linen Dress. I was really surprisedto see that both Nicki and Paris Hilton are listed as celebrity wearers of this line–maybe I’m getting more stylish if I like the same things they do.
August 29th, 2008 at 6:53 pm

August 29th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
The shirt looks amazing, both the design and the material. It’d be awesome to have one on. It’s also awesome to see what Wildlife Works is trying to do. They had fun events too (Earth Day, fashion show, concerts, etc.

I like the Zebra Inspired Perfect T and the Safari Spa Kit.
I will be interested to see what a for-profit business like this one can accomplish for wildlife, and I’ll be watching especially to see if their plan in my province (support for the Great Bear Rainforest) works out. I appreciate that they use organic cotton, taking into account wildlife beyond their own projects.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:35 am
Through their “Consumer Powered Conservation” Wildlife Works has opened a key migration corridor for endangered elephants, cheetahs, wild dogs, zebras and 43 other large mammal species in Kenya, Africa, at their Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:45 am
I love what they stand for As a person who has been involved in animal rescue for more then 20 years it is great to see a clothing company actively involved in helping save the animals and their habitate. I also appreciate the fact that they have provided jobs to the local people and have helped save the animals by reeducating th people that animals are an assat not something to be distroyed

There’s a few things I found out. This company uses products that are animal-free, eco-friendly, and the company works towards conservation and sustainable practices.
August 30th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I love their yoga clothes–they look so comfortable. And I love that whatever cloth isn’t manufactured domestically from organic cotton comes from surplus from other textile mills–what a great way to reduce waste. It looks like an amazing company.
August 30th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Because I love all things animal print anyway, I adore the Zebra Print Perfect T Dress. Simple yet bold at the same time. I also like the idea that each purchase helps endangered animals.
August 30th, 2008 at 8:24 am
I was impressed by the quality of this organizations website. Not to mention the extensive selection of products. I think I will be buying my future yoga wear there! I love all the information that the site provides. I could feel really good purchasing from this site. I hope more companies follow suit.
August 30th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I LOVE THAT THEY HELP ANIMALS SND THE POOR PEOPLE
August 30th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I would pick the safari spa kit
August 30th, 2008 at 9:41 am
I like the puff sleeve v-neck the best, although all their items are very cute. I like the slogan “Conservation looks good on you.” as well as the section on how people can get involved (volunteering, etc). Wildlife Works not only “talks the talk, but walks the walk” on environmentally friendly and ecologically-aware business! Bravo!
August 30th, 2008 at 10:31 am
It is wonderful that they are helping the animals and I love the clothing line.
August 30th, 2008 at 10:41 am
“With your help we protect our 80,000 acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary in Africa and provide jobs for rural people so they can afford to let the wildlife live.”
I LOVE elephants, have been enchanted with them since I was very young, and am so happy when companies like this can help with the cause. Also, my DH is from Africa and he tells me wonderful stories of the wildlife sanctuaries and game preserves there where he has gotten “up close and personal” with elephants (I’m so jealous!).
The clothes are wonderful! My favorites, of course, would be the Sheer Elephant Puff Sleeve and Sheer Elephant Tank but the Judy dress is cute and I also like the Kenyan Sisal Basket bag.
Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

I am pleased to see that they support major efforts in British Columbia. So often we think of conservation as something that needs to be done in places like South America, Asia, or Africa. It is wonderful to see someone raising visibility about the need to preserve North American environments.

August 30th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I love companies like this! Not only do they offer a great product, they offer peace of mind in knowing that your purchase goes towards a good cause - and they don’t just say “we help animals,” or “part of the proceeds go towards xxx” (without telling you exactly what they’re doing, or how much they donate) - they outline exactly what their mission is, then give you examples of how they’ve made a difference. For example the 80,000-acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary - helping not only the animals, but making a difference in the community through that help! I also really liked that they outlined all their projects (current and future). Great giveaway and a wonderful company, thank you.

I love that they mix the product pictures with pictures of animals. They are also educating people in Africa that animals are not just a food source. Wow - amazing!! You can tell they are doing and not just talking about it.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I really LOVED the Tree Shadow Cap Sleeve Tee.
August 30th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I am pleased to find a company that works hard to benefit and protect wildlife, and is willing share their profits with the communities that help preserve our wildlife. I also like the fact that their website lists all their projects, now and in the future. I am happy to see that they are educating people in Africa that the animals there are not just a food source. God bless them in their noble efforts
August 30th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I liked the Zebra Shadow Dress.
August 30th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Wildlife Works is truly a cool company. After reading your review of them I couldn’t wait to hit the pages of their website. I went right to their mission statement so I could find out all that I could about them. Their radical new approach Consumer Powered Conservation is all about protecting wilderness habitats, creating jobs, building schools and providing other economic benefits for those people who share their land and resources with wildlife. I am so glad they have received a tremendous amount of support for this very significant cause. By purchasing a a Wildlife Works product, you’re joining their conservation revolution. You’ll be wearing the brand that says you won’t sit quietly by while the last wild things in the last wild places disappear forever. This is amazing! It takes a lot to impress me, and I was pretty blown away by this company and what they have accomplished!
August 30th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I think your Black Label line has some really cute designs, especially the Justine Shirt and the Christine Dress. I’m a big fan of organic cotton yarn and clothing and it is nice to see your line. I’m also always interested in discovering new environmentally minded resources/ideas/products to share with others (I publish a monthly newsletter for a small women’s organization).

August 30th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Honestly, first thing I did was to check out the accessories, then the shoes. Eventually I read the serious stuff, including the impressive Mission Statement, based on their idea of Consumer Powered Conservation. It would be a better world if we all, celebrity role models as well as everyday consumers, were better informed and made choices based on our responsibility to life on our planet earth. Some sections of the site need to be updated (Latest News December 10, 2007!). I like the concept, since we are not going to stop being consumers, the least we can do is consume thoughtfully.
