In collaboration with Clothes for Progress, seven repurposed Souvenir Official styles are adorned with works from artists Joe Garvey, Jim Klok & Aidan Cushway using graphics of Ukraine’s national flower to inspire sunflower motifs; creating a dynamic campaign that is ‘Bold, bright, and gleaming with hope’ - 100% of all proceeds from this collection will go towards Black Women for Black Lives and Bridges Over Borders, in efforts to support BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalised individuals fleeing Ukraine.
The Sunflowers for Ukraine capsule collection, seeks to support the global Ukraine crisis relief efforts; available globally for pre-order to minimise waste production and reflect the sustainability commitments of both Clothes for Progress and Souvenir Official. Click HERE to shop now.

“Clothes for Progress started just after the protests in June 2020 as an ongoing BLM fund- raiser. We feel it’s important to stick to this core, with every new crisis again. That’s why we feel so compelled to raise funds for BW4BL and Bridges Over Walls”
- Kees de Klein
