#WEARTHEWORLD #TRAVELMORE
 What is Serengetee?

Started in 2012
By two college students Jeff and Ryan who met on a study abroad
program, Semester at Sea
Collecting fabrics from Asia, Africa, and Central America
Started making the first pocket tees in their dorm room
Company based in California and clothes made there through a
10 step process
 What does Serengetee do?

By purchasing fabric from over 25 countries, we support artisans,

their families, and ancient fabric making traditions.
And, by giving back 10% of our profits to a diverse range of
grassroots causes, we work to improve lives in their
communities.

The stories of these fabric makers and causes are baked into every
product we make, so when you wear Serengetee you are truly
wearing a piece of the world.
