Green Fly Shop

Green Fly Shop
Business Description: 

100% organic, in-your-face tee shirts about being green and socially progressive. For women and men, large and small.

Okay, we’re down with saving the planet and being good green citizens. But good citizens don’t all have to wear blurry looking tie-dye and baggy unstructured dresses shaped like sacks. At GreenFly we want to reinvent green tees. With great art – beautiful, hairy, colorful, in-your-face graphic art. And we pair that with slogans and verbal ideas that make you laugh and think about what we need to do to save the planet. Every shirt is 100% Certified organic cotton made by Fair Labor Association certified manufacturers – a non-profit organization promoting international labor standards and improving working conditions worldwide.

Our inspiration comes from the actual green fly (not aphids ya’ eejits; real green flies from the family Calliphoridae aka blowflies). Found around the world, the maggots of this fly will eat dead animal tissue while leaving live tissue intact. So they’ve been used for thousands of years – and are still used today - to clean wounds, leaving perfectly pink, living tissue ready to be dressed in the operating room or the battlefield.

So what looks like a bad, grungy, scumbly thing (the maggot) is actually an all-natural excellent thing. And that’s what GreenFlyShop.com is: organic tee-shirts with fantastic wearable art that kicks you in the ass and says: “Do the right thing, ya’ nit – save the planet”.

After all, saving a planet is a big job and we all have to do our part.
