Give & Take

It was a loving month, this February... So instead of constantly waiting for people to give, and we take. We took the turn to give this month. (not that we've been selfish to you, anyway, right ;) ) We have loved you all along. 

So, we had lots of offers from various brands out there asking for My Cup Of Tee to support their events. We've always tried our best, specially if it's for a good cause. I mean, how many chances or opportunities in life were you given to help and able to?

There is this organization (sort of) that focuses on the needs of woman in Indonesia, and tries to support and encourage them. Lot of divorced woman, spinsters, or single mothers, etc. need more support in their lives. They need to be recognized, and Sometimes to know that people care in this world is a great feeling. I think this is what "selamatkan ibu" do. You can follow their twitter @selamatkanibu to find out more on what they do. So... they came and did their designs on our tees for one of their many events. We supplied vouchers for their event. Here's some photos of their designs. and yes... you can get it with us. 

Don't worry. What I'm trying to show here are not the weird looking people (who are MCOT's staffs), look at the designs. Those are original from selamatkanibu

Apart from other small projects and events we've helped. This following one was the biggest one so far. Indonesia Tatler (magazine company), the magz for socialites (as we may know), approached us and told us they will be holding a "Fight for Charity" event. An event that will combines fun and charity altogether. How good does that sound? The funds gathered through this event purely goes to Sampoerna Foundation which supports and encourages education. 

So we thought since we might not be able to supply funds directly yet at the moment, why not help provide the tees needed for the whole crew and fighters for the charity event? Anyways, they will provide the funds for the foundation. How better way to do it, right? We felt like part of donating something indirectly, and it felt good. We busted and cracked almost every night to get the 60pcs of tees done for Indonesia Tatler, but it was worth it.

 Last but not least, we have started to be the official partner for Lunno the band's merchandise, an Indiepop folk post-punk local band whose inspirations are Coldplay & The Killers. You can read more about them on http://www.lunnotheband.com/fr_welcomelunnesia.cfm

We are proud to be able to endorse in their band's tees. Herewith is a taste of their designs on our tee. :D and yes... of course, you can get it from us, and you can customize it with your favorite colors or even put your own text if you don't want to be so obvious that you are a Lunno freak. ;)
