{"id":9486556,"uuid":"a1d7891e-fd35-49ac-93ab-03f5d1b7a5af","name":"Pride is Protest | Original Brand Print | LGBTQIA activist organic tote","description":"<p><strong>\u200b\"Pride Is Protest\" Graphic Collection<\/strong><\/p><p>\u200bRemember the roots of the LGBTQIA+ movement with the \"Pride Is Protest\" design from Polite Defiance. Featuring a hand carved brick radiating with dynamic lightning bolts and stark, heavy typography, this graphic is a direct nod to the trailblazers of Stonewall and a reminder that true liberation is an ongoing battle.<\/p><p>Crafted for those who refuse to let queer history be sanitizlsed, this piece merges raw, revolutionary energy with an uncompromising message. Whether you're marching in the streets, organising in your community, or simply existing loudly, this design lets you carry the foundation of the movement wherever you go<\/p><p><strong>The Design Process: <\/strong>\u200b<strong>From a blank page to a digital finish.<\/strong><\/p><p>This artwork was built entirely from scratch. The brick design was for some reason drawn backwards, checking as I went with photos flipped backwards to see how it looked (instead of flipping it when I transferred it to lino!). I do like to make life harder for myself! Once printed, I then hand traced it with a stylus to lock in the digital version.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">Bag styling<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">This shopper tote bag is soft and made from 100% organic cotton twill, finished with a feminist design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">Lightweight and rollable, this 170gsm tote (37 x 42 cm with a 7cm gusset) is the perfect size for a day of errands or an afternoon of activism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u200b<strong>The Polite Defiance Promise<\/strong><\/p><p>\u200b<u>Circular by Design<\/u><\/p><p>My fabric products aren't destined for a landfill. When they\u2019re worn out, you scan a code and send them back to Teemill to be remade into new yarn. It\u2019s a closed-loop system designed to make fashion truly sustainable.<\/p><p>\u200b<u>Powered by Nature<\/u><\/p><p>Every item I sell is made from GOTS certified organic cotton in factories powered by renewable energy. No toxins, no synthetic blends... just nature.<\/p><p>\u200b<u>Plastic-Free Packaging<\/u><\/p><p>I ship in paper packaging, not poly-bags. Because the ocean has enough unexpected guests already.<\/p><p>\u200b<u>Kind to All<\/u><\/p><p>Every product uses PETA Approved Vegan inks. I don\u2019t use animal derived fibers or inks, because I believe fashion should be a force for good without causing any harm to our fellow inhabitants.<\/p><p>\u200b<u>Ethically Built<\/u><\/p><p>My supply chain is audited to ensure fair pay and safe conditions. I defy the \"fast fashion\" status quo by prioritising the people behind the seams as much as the people wearing them.<\/p><p>\u200b<u>Zero Waste Production<\/u><\/p><p>I only print the fashion you buy. By using real time printing technology, I eliminate the waste of unsold stock and overproduction. It\u2019s a smarter, cleaner way to create fashion items.<\/p><p>\u200b<strong>Independent &amp; Female-Led<\/strong><\/p><p>Polite Defiance is a one-woman show. I\u2019m an independent creator, not a faceless corporation. When you shop here, you\u2019re supporting a queer female founded brand dedicated to making a statement without compromising on ethics or the environment.<\/p><p>\u200b<strong>Real Art, Real Photography<\/strong><\/p><p>Everything you see here is 100% human made. I don't use AI for my artwork, nor do I use it for my product photography. Because I run this business on a shoestring budget and I'm learning how to photograph my own work as I go, the pictures might look a little bit homemade! You might also spot a few placeholders around the site... please bear with me, real photos are coming soon.<\/p>","brand":null,"metaTitle":"Pride is Protest Organic Cotton Tote Bag","metaDescription":"Make a statement with this \"Pride is Protest\" organic cotton tote bag.
