A team of brothers with one mission to pursue the change we want to see in the world.  Follow us on our journey to make the land we walk on a better place. Neighbours In paradise is a philanthropic NON PROFITABLE streetwear fashion brand with an on-trend unique design approach to help raise awareness on sociopolitical issues who use 100% of all donations to support smaller charities across the globe. Our clothing has no price tag and every individual donation will receive a piece from the collections we release starting from a minimum of £5. Motivated by the community and social conscience. Taking a story telling approach to streetwear but simultaneously establishing itself with a serious agenda to create ever lasting unforgettable pieces. Picking up iconic images which are then translated to highlight and support specific causes of importance to the global community, playfully adopting the aesthetic to ironic effect. In simpler form we want to use fashion as excuse to talk about politics and to help people who are in need of the most exposure to better their situation and living standards. Fashion can serve as a platform to transcend the mere superficial aesthetics by mobilising like minded people and spreading a substantial positive message of solidarity, justice, love and equality for all. This year our intention is to raise awareness for 3 different causes; Yemen, Uyghur  and Palestine. All donations will be proceeded to Orphans Of Yemen via Revive Darul Arqam with 100% donation policy. The current situation in Uyghur makes it difficult for any organisations to help. Our main intention behind this design is to raise awareness on the genocide in Uyghur. Please understand all donations will be proceeded through Revive Darul Arqam for the Orphans Of Yemen.  Yemen –  inspired by Palm Angels  The current situation in Yemen is something that we are all aware of, hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed. The worlds worst hunger crisis and over 80% of the population living in poverty.  It is estimated that 20.7 million people in Yemen are in need of humanitarian assistance.  Almost 111,000 innocent men, women and children have been killed and 4.2 million people have lost their homes.  Palestine – inspired by OFF WHITE  Our Palestine design this year inspired by the very well known fashion brand “OFF WHITE”.  Palestine has some of the oldest olive trees dating back to 4000 years plus. In addition to the symbolic meaning olives are a main source of income for around 80,000 Palestinians. Palestinian farmers face several challenges in maintaining their olive trees before they are harvested. If the land where the olives are planted lies in Area C, 60% of the West Bank, which according to Oslo is under full Israeli control, the farmers need permits from Israeli authorities to access their land and to tend to their trees.  Olive trees carry more than an economic significance in the lives of Palestinians. They are not just like any another trees, they are symbolic of Palestinians’ attachment to their land. Because the trees are draught-resistant and grow under poor soil conditions, they represent Palestinian resistance and resilience. A special thank you to the collaborative efforts of the designers involved into making this idea to life.  Uyghur – Inspired by Balenciaga  It has been estimated that Chinese authorities have detained up to 1.8 million people, mostly Uyghur but also other ethnic & religious minorities In secretive concentration camps located throughout the region of Xinjiang. ********IMPORTANT NOTE – MAKING A DONATION DOES NOT COMPLETE YOUR ORDER.
