We wanted to create designs that would reflect elements of our charity and the work our volunteers undertake to keep our coastline safe.<\/span><br \/><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/p87o77zlrpk23vxoibpce2iceguunptqd74jzad8nl2yukpk.png.png?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"p87o77zlrpk23vxoibpce2iceguunptqd74jzad8nl2yukpk.png.png?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">We care about the environment, which is why we have partnered with Teemill for our merchandise shop, as we support their aim to be a sustainable business and produce products using natural materials that are sustainably sourced and produced in factories powered by renewable energy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">Every product is designed to come back to Teemill when it\u2019s worn out, where it can be made into new products from the recovered materials. Our cotton products are certified 100% organic and vegan friendly and produced with closed loop systems to reduce wastage and increase renewability.<\/span><br \/><\/p><h3><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">A message from the designer, Helen Ray:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><em><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">\u201cI\u2019m a designer and illustrator based in Northamptonshire, and I was excited to be involved in creating a bespoke collection of fun designs that people would enjoy wearing, whilst helping to support and educate about the important work the National Coastwatch does along our coastline.\u201d<\/span><\/em><br \/><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/fuj39d1nzqebqonlwsbxjprhk20lxl9oo0mddjne2hriiqqb.png.png?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"fuj39d1nzqebqonlwsbxjprhk20lxl9oo0mddjne2hriiqqb.png.png?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><br \/><em><span style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif;\">\u201cMy design process involves firstly drawing the ideas on paper in pen and then scanning these sketches to digitise them onto my laptop. This is where I add colours and text to turn them into finished designs. This allows me to adapt my drawings across different media and products, whilst keeping a hand-drawn aesthetic. I have really enjoyed creating these designs and also learning about some of the techniques and resources that the NCI use in their work. Thanks for checking out our new collection and I hope you like our designs!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>","urlTitle":"celebrating-our-new-coastal-designs-on-teemill","url":"\/blog\/celebrating-our-new-coastal-designs-on-teemill\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/celebrating-our-new-coastal-designs-on-teemill\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/national-coastwatch.teemill.com\/blog\/celebrating-our-new-coastal-designs-on-teemill\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1755078623,"updatedAt":1755687293,"publishedAt":1755687293,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":343882,"name":"National Coastwatch"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ecqqjpbp0pu62jy6age1xrp39ymuqm7xwzoy9l5hss85qb0v.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ecqqjpbp0pu62jy6age1xrp39ymuqm7xwzoy9l5hss85qb0v.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ecqqjpbp0pu62jy6age1xrp39ymuqm7xwzoy9l5hss85qb0v.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[],"labels":[]}
