“We want our customers to feel great in three different ways: Feel great when they see the clothes; feel great when they wear them and feel great for buying them as they will be donating to three different charities,” says Conor Buckley, founder of THE HUMAN COLLECTIVE – a new sustainable urban fashion range of crew-neck sweatshirts and beanie hats. Its logo, an equals sign, is a clue to the brand’s ethos of equality and social inclusion. €3 from the sale of each sweatshirt is donated to the brand’s charity partners – Sports Against Racism Ireland, LGBT Ireland and the Irish Youth Foundation. www.wearehumancollective.com
