Dear customers, dear friends,
Do you want to buy eco-friendly products with unique designs and support a good cause at the same time?
Yes! Then you've definitely come to the right place!
We are Anna & Andy, a duo of hobby designers from Berlin with a shared passion for unique design. Over the years, Anna has skillfully designed and tailored amazing clothes herself, while Andy has created various 2D and 3D designs in his spare time, often as special gifts for friends & family in the form of unique clothing or wall decoration.
We have often asked ourselves how we can use our skills to make the world a better place. Inspired by this thought, Andy was encouraged to found the BANTHO brand in 2022. A year later, Anna joined the cause. Since then, we have been working together and making our designs available for a good cause! Andy focuses on the great graphic designs, while Anna uses her excellent tailoring skills to make selected BANTHO garments even more unique.
The vision of BANTHO is to make the world a little bit better together while having fun doing it! At BANTHO, we support a good cause by donating half of our profits to charitable projects!
To generate donations, we collaboratively create and market sustainable, fair, and uniquely designed garments and wall art!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The values of the BANTHO brand are:
1) Uniqueness
2) Social Responsibility
3) Customer Centricity
4) Sustainability
5) Equality & Respect
--------------------
1) Uniqueness, because when you buy a BANTHO product, you are really buying something that only a few people in the world own. This is the exact opposite of purchasing a shirt from a big brand that many might have in their closet. The authenticity of our products is guaranteed, as they are only available through the official BANTHO store (either on Etsy or our own website). You can't find BANTHO products anywhere else. Moreover, each product is made to order, ensuring that no two prints are exactly alike and every single product is unique.
--------------------
2) Social Responsibility, because we don't just want to earn a substantial income from our work. Instead, we dedicate our time and products to a good cause. Unlike buying from large brands where you mostly pay for the brand name, we have decided to donate 50% of our profits to charity. We believe there are many people and charitable organizations who need the money more than we do. The remaining 50% covers business costs (hardware, software, insurance, electricity, etc.) and helps us expand our brand to collect more donations with our customers.
We commit to paying out the collected money every quarter in our customers' names, supporting those experiencing turmoil, war, and crisis. We are also open to donations for other charitable projects and organizations, like animal welfare.
We will keep everyone updated through shop announcements, our blog, and social media!
--------------------
3) Customer Centricity, because your input is invaluable to us. We strive for our designs to resonate with you and ensure you can purchase unique BANTHO products with the best possible experience. We are always open to feedback on how we can improve our brand and shop. We value open communication and transparency.
We openly share the cost structure of our business. Firstly, Etsy fees are deducted from your payment in our online shop. As small business owners, we don't have to pay sales and trade taxes but do pay income tax on our profits. The bulk of your money goes to the subcontractor manufacturing the item. After deducting fees, manufacturing & branding costs, and income tax, the rest is our net profit, half of which we donate to charity.
---------------------
4) Sustainability, as it applies to the purchase of our physical products. We select only ecological and fair materials like organic cotton or sustainable wood, ensuring our products are as environmentally friendly as possible. Our subcontractor uses water-based, pollution-free inks for printing, and we choose eco-friendly packaging and shipping. Etsy offsets carbon emissions from shipping and packaging. Moreover, our on-demand production means only sold items are made, reducing waste and energy usage.
--------------------
5) Equality & Respect are paramount to us. If you identify with the values of BANTHO, we are thrilled to have your support for our brand and ultimately a good cause! Everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, or shoe size, is welcome to join the BANTHO family!
