Support Comic Relief with 100% Organic Fairtrade Tees


Stella McCartney has created the most fashionable charity t-shirt around for Red Nose Day 2009. Exclusively available from TK Maxx, the limited edition t-shirts feature iconic images of The Beatles and Morecambe & Wise.

Stella McCartney has come a long way since the launch of her very own label in 2001 with Gucci Group.

Today her name is on everything from luxury women's wear to organic skincare to the performance range she creates for Adidas and her flagship stores are a highlight of high streets around the world. As an ardent vegetarian, she's just as well known for not using leather or fur in any of her collections.

Stella's latest fashion feat is creating the first ever designer Red Nose Day t-shirt for this year's Comic Relief campaign.

The T-shirts have been wholly manufactured in Africa, and for the first time 100% of the cotton has been sourced from organic Fairtrade certified cotton co-operatives in Senegal. Which ensures gorgeous, pesticide and GM free cotton and a fair price for farmers in developing countries.

"It's a real honour to be involved in such a tremendous cause and be a part of the Red Nose Day campaign 2009. The designs of the t-shirts were inspired by iconic images of iconic people by iconic photographers and adding an element of humour to them. I wanted to focus on photographs where people are happy and create a charity t-shirt that would become a staple of a person's wardrobe."
Stella McCartney

Tees are available to buy online, with approximately £5 to £8 going to charity per adult tee.
