Earlier this year, Pop!Tech 2005 speaker Cameron Sinclair of Architecture for Humanity (AFH) met up with Natalie Chanin, founder of “Alabama Chanin” - a line of limited-edition jewelry, clothing, home furnishings and textiles that are rendered by hand using recycled materials and local talent. The two discussed AFH’s work to help displaced families and individuals who lost their homes after Katrina.

Chanin was inspired by Cameron’s work on the Gulf coast and decided to support AFH’s rebuilding projects by designing a reverse applique (a
traditional quilting technique) shirt called “Alabama Builds“.

This very special organic couture t-shirt is $75 from Alabama Chanin and 100% of the proceeds are go to benefit AFH’s Gulf Coast Project .

As Cameron said himself, these shirts are for “Eco-warriors, hipsters and all round nice folk”. Check ‘em out.
