Folding Clothes... And Folding Proteins.
At Cut Cute Couture®, our motto is simple: 'don't just look good'®.
We like soft cardigans with crystal buttons, sexy animal prints and great floral tops. But it's hard to ignore how selfish women's fashion has become. So, when we're not using our computers (you know, for fashion stuff...), we put them to work on cancer research, modeling climate change, doing clean energy research...
If you agree smart is the new sexy, then find information on free software and projects to participate in at: Boinc (which sounds kind of dirty, but stands for Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, by UC Berkeley). When you're ready, Join team Cut Cute Couture and devote your unused cycles to humanitarian or scientific causes.
Made in America...
In our business, we use a high percentage of natural fibers, and make the vast majority of our clothes here in the USA, using sweat-shop free labor. Our women's tops and sweaters are either '100% Made in America', or 'Mostly Made in America'. We ship goods in boxes we buy from Waukegan, IL, and try to be conscious and as supportive of the economy as possible.
But Wait, There's More...
We're also fans of ProPublica and their journalism in the public interest, as well as Mother Jones and their reader supported, award-winning journalism... (we're into a well-informed, smart consumer who also knows the value of a well-made, quality product).
At retail, Cut Cute Couture®'s hangtags have a wide variety of 'don't just look good'® messages to spread the word about environmental, health, education, public policy and other issues we care about. Let us know what you think about our fashion campaign for corporate/social responsibility...
Post something on Our Facebook page, retweet for us, set up your computer to lend a hand when you're not using it, give us your ideas... join the 'don't just look good'® movement. That way, you also won't just be looking good while wearing one of our tees, tops or sweaters.
