Ventana by Jessica Cooper
Artisanship
These extra soft, tagless tees feature a representation of Ventana's surfboards by Jessica Cooper. We have two, limited edition styles: a women's scoop neck in heather sky blue and a unisex style heather ocean blue. Both are printed with white ink. Prints are available at Jessica's Etsy site.
Responsibility
The cloth is made from recycled PET bottles and organic cotton (with 13% rayon in the women's tee), and the shirts are Made in the USA. The silk-screening is done in Santa Cruz, California, and 100% of the profits from the screening go to fund the local youth outreach and education programs of Barrios Unidos.
Each shirt comes with a reclaimed wooden hang tag connected to a key ring and an upcycled, paracord leash cord offcut from the production of Ventana Khordz Mugs. Just like our surfboards, every detail matters.
All in all there's a ton of goodness about this product, but while the shirt is manufactured and printed in the USA, the yarn is created overseas. We also have some concerns about the micro-plastics that shed from the rPET in the wash, so we're exploring different fabric options for the future.
Adventure
Wear this as your go-to shirt on surf trips, local sessions, and at the office. Donate your wardrobe to people in need and stock up on these great shirts. Order a few to show your Ventana love, your support for Jessica Cooper, and your commitment to the planet.
