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 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!

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.
I love, love, love the Karen Dress…Karen is my mom’s name too, so maybe I am meant to buy it…if I win the shirt, I wear size M–thanks!

I love the Charmoné Ginko sandals. Animal-free, eco-friendly, and the company works towards conservation and sustainable practices… wow.
They “created the 80,000-acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary, where elephants, cheetahs and 45 other large mammal species now roam freely.” Cool!
I LOVE the Christine dress!
I love their clothing line, especially the sheer lion puff sleeve shirt for women. I think it’s great that they are helping wildlife.
I like the Zebra Shadow Perfect Tee. Thank you.
I’d like to try the Safari Spa Kit. Thanks for the contest.
I learned that they are achieving their goals by protecting wilderness habitats, creating jobs, building schools and providing other economic benefits for those people who share their land and resources with wildlife.
I learned that many celebrities, like the Backstreet Boys, endorse and wear the Wildlife tees.
I love the Sheer Giraffe Tank! Their tees are so creative…like who would’ve thought a mom would like to wear a tank witha giraffe on it? But it looks so nice!!

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 that they “created the 80,000-acre Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary, where elephants, cheetahs and 45 other large mammal species now roam freely.” I love companies that actually do something great for animals. I love animals.

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.
It’s great that they help endangered animals. I love that they offer the local community jobs in a eco factory.

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!
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!

I like the Sheer Giraffe Puff Sleeve tee shirt in pink…or the elephant. My kids would DEFINATELY think I was their hero sporting a giraffe on my shirt. Now, if I could only get the energy for a trip to the zoo!
Safari Spa kit is my pick.
The Black Label Judy dress is amazing!
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.
I really like the Empire Babydoll in black.
I really like the Puff Sleeve V-neck. Simple yet very cute. Thanks for the chance!

I LOVE that they support the Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary, in Kenya. Having grown up in Zambia, I know how needed jobs are in rural areas, so it is exciting to see companies that are working to improve such situationa!

I like the Karen Dress the most but the Ts are great too. Thanks!
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.
