Our first original design for 2020 - Bounce UPsocks!
Designed in-house and named by our community, we’re extremely proud to release this one to you.
THE CAUSE
Every day we get out of bed, put on our socks and shoes and go outside with full freedom of mobility to experience the world in all its beauty.
For 32 million amputees across the low-income and war-torn world, this freedom of mobility is not an option.
Amputees lose limbs to war, landmines, disease and road accidents, with very little options for rehabilitation and care. Prosthetic limbs are an expensive medical device and requires modifications and replacements every year.
Families of amputees live significantly below the poverty line.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
With this pair of Bounce UPsocks, together we can restore that freedom of mobility for an amputee who otherwise would not receive rehabilitation and care.
Every time you put on these socks, you're making a life-changing difference to someone else, and that's a feeling worth getting dressed up for. Our colourful and unique designs make the perfect conversation starter at work or at your favourite Sunday brunch cafe, and the perfect outfit addition to give you a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
100% PROFITS DONATED
We donate 100% of the profits made from each sale to help build prosthetic limbs in low-income and war-torn countries. We partner with local charities and NGOs already on the ground in each country who are building and delivering rehabilitation and care to amputees in local cities and in rural towns.
DESIGNED BY A LOCAL ARTIST
This design is part of our Project-Oz collection, and has been designed by a local artist. We partner with local artists and graphic designers to help grow their reach and to support them through the COVID recovery.
Each artist is paid a license fee for each design, and is paid a commission for each pair sold in their designs. Together, we can support our local artists.
