This month, THTC calls on eco-conscious street art lovers to join its community in the fight against single use plastic with the purchase of a limited edition tote bag made of a fine blend of 45% Hemp, 40% Organic Cotton, and 15% Recycled Poly Muslin. THTC works with 5 or 6 charities by rising money and awareness of their causes through commissions on sales of various designs in the range. The Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) is one of their favourite such collaborations. THTC has pledged 30% of their range to RCK for Black Friday (29th November) and the 3 days after as an antithesis to the unnecessary overconsumption that Black Friday is meant to encourage.
