Is your laptop naked?

February 11, 2010

Today we will do something a little bit different. This post will profile another business who is doing some good in the world. We would like to introduce you to Hello Rewind. Simply put, Hello Rewind takes old t-shirts and recycles them into laptop sleeves. Now, you may think that we are covering them for their sustainable ingenuity. Truth be told, the company is much more than that. Hello Rewind is looking to rid the world of sex trafficking, one sleeve at a time.

This is how it works. Hello Rewind works to show victims of sex trafficking that once they are rescued life can go on. Hello Rewind trains and teaches these survivors fundamental skills, like sewing, English and basic business skills. In fact, many of the laptop sleeves are sewn by these very survivors. To top it all off, the company’s profits are recycled back into the business so that it can grow and support more survivors.

Here’s the process:
1. You purchase a laptop sleeve in your laptop size (13″, 15″ or 17″)
2. Hello Rewind will mail you a pre-paid envelope to send in your chosen t-shirt
3. Hello Rewind will sew a custom sleeve using your t-shirt
4. Within 4-8 weeks, your computer will have something new to wear

We love this kind of thinking, a creative way to solve two problems and make a real difference in the world. So, check out Hello Rewind. Maybe you have a naked laptop at home that is in need of a comfy sleeve.
