Laptop Sleeves That Philanthropically Turn Your Old Tees Into Opportunities

By Elizabeth Monson

We all have them, those old tee shirts you just can’t throw away. Maybe it’s your seventh grade basketball team who made it to state, or a concert tee from the Spice Girls Reunion Tour. We’re not judging—we have them too (like the tee from the 25^th annual family reunion, it’s tie-dye.) Now, however, you can take those tees out of your closet where they’re taking up valuable space that could be better used for, say, your stylish new raincoat, and turn them into something great.

Take a look at our favorite new packable raincoat, supremely stylish and functional.

Hello Rewind takes your old tees and functions them into personalized laptop sleeves. Here’s how it works: you order your laptop sleeve in 13’’, 15’’, or 17’’, send them your old tee in one of their prepaid envelopes, and they take it and make it into the perfect padded laptop sleeve with a Velcro closure.

While finding a new use for that old concert tee is reason enough to love these laptop cases, it’s the philanthropic spin that has really won us over. Like some of our other favorite brands, (Feed Bags, Toms Shoes, and Falling Whistles,) Hello Rewind has taken on this project as a way to help others.

Working with Restore NYC, a not for profit that provides holistic services to survivors of sex trafficking, Hello Rewind not only teaches survivors how to sew, speak English and master other business skills, but also affords women in NY the opportunity to become an integral part of the Hello Rewind business. And with a mission close to our hearts here at The Beauty Bean, (we are actively involved in supporting The Somaly Mam Foundation, which works to end sex slavery around the world), we enthusiastically support this business venture as well.

So, instead of adding to the 6 million tons of clothing thrown away in the US each year, take the opportunity to do something meaningful with your beloved old tees and buy yourself a new, stylish laptop case that will actually help some of the almost 17,000 people that are sex trafficked into the US every year, a statistic that goes practically unnoticed by many in the public.

Let your laptop wear the sentimental tee that you no longer do.
