The Design Concept, The Causes


The Design Concept

Net products for net users exclusively!

Nothing 'techie'. The designs will only make sense if you are of the 'Net'.

Up until now, most of the fashion products related to the Internet seem to have been obsessed with metal breast plates and strategically placed designer rips - a vision seemingly more inspired by Mad Max and mid-eighties Madonna than a reflection of net culture. Whilst there have been some interesting developments in new fabrics and textures related to Cyber fashion - none of it appears relevant to real net users.

Our products will not be available in shops. We want to make them exclusive to real Net users - and only real users will recognise them.


The Causes ... so far

Whilst we are a commercial company we believe we have responsibilities over and above the profit motive. Therefore, our current and future products will support various good causes IOHO.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a non-profit civil liberties public interest organization working to protect freedom of expression, privacy, and access to online resources and information.

Randal Schwartz Legal Defense Fund

Sales of the comp.lang.perl T-Shirt will help support Randal Schwartz's Legal Defense Fund. We can't provide many details, because Randal's waiting for the formal documents to be issued, except to say this is a David vs Goliath case. More info about the fund is available from
