On May 3, Vancouver-based lifestyle brand Obakki introduces its new Essentials collection, comprised of t-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts that are made from landfill and pesticide-free organic cotton. And for one week after the launch, the label will donate 100 percent of net profits towards the Obakki Foundation Basic Needs Kits; the kits support women in Bidi Bidi, Uganda — the largest women’s refugee settlement in the world — by supplying them with much-needed items like reusable menstrual pads, laundry detergent and everyday sundries like soap and dental care items.

“This tumultuous year has led us all to re-think the things that are truly essential to us,” Obakki founder Treana Peake said in a statement about the launch. “We wanted to create basic wardrobe staples that are comfortable and versatile, and that you can feel good about wearing every day. All of our basics are created consciously with a low carbon footprint, and made using 100% organic ingredients.” To celebrate the collection, the brand has photographed its pieces on women living in Bidi Bidi, as well as Vancouver locals like model and activist Krow Kian.
