KOHA
AT KWEST CLOTHING, GIVING BACK MATTERS.
WHILE WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED, WE’VE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO DONATE TO CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT CAUSES CLOSE TO OUR HEART.
LOVERS CORPS
SUPPORTING OUR FRONTLINE HEROES
A portion of profits from our Lovers Corps Camo Collection were donated to Te Kiwi Māia, a charity supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of New Zealand’s frontline workers - including military, police, and emergency services.
Inspired by the strength and service behind the collection, this koha was our way of giving back to those who dedicate their lives to protecting ours.
PĀUA COLLECTION
PROTECTING AOTEAROA’S COASTLINES
A portion of profits from our Pāua Collection were donated to Sustainable Coastlines, a charity dedicated to restoring and protecting Aotearoa’s waterways and beaches. It only made sense that by using the beautiful designs of pāua, we give back and help clean up the oceans of Aotearoa - home of the pāua.
LAND BACK TEES
STRENGTHENING THE MĀORI NURSING WORKFORCE & LAKE ROTOKAKĀ PRESERVATION
A portion of profits were donated to Te Korowai o Nga Ringa Awhina. These funds were used to hire a tutor to help Māori nursing students pass their exams on their second attempt, giving them the extra support needed to succeed on their journey to becoming registered nurses.
In addition to this, a portion of profits were donated to Lake Rotokākahi, funding legal efforts, environmental protection, and the safeguarding of wāhi tapu against the Rotorua Lakes Council’s planned sewage pipe project.
