About
In the heat of the recession in May 2009, brothers Mike and Dave and their partner, Fabian started Holstee. More than a company, or clothes, the trio wanted to create a lifestyle. Starting in the summer of 2009 they dove head first into the world of design and production. After six months and a huge learning curve, Holstee launched its first line of Recycled Tees made of 100% recycled plastic bottles that were milled, cut and sewn within 150 miles of each other in North Carolina. Starting with this first round, 10% of all sales were lent to entrepreneurs in extreme poverty through non-profit micro-lending organizations like Kiva.org - a tradition they are proud to still embrace.

Manifesto
The first thing Holstee's three founders - Mike, Fabian and Dave - did was sit together on the steps of Union Square and write down exactly what was on their minds and the tips of their tongues. It wasn't about shirts and it wasn't about their old jobs. It was about what they wanted from life and how to create a company that breathes that passion into the world everyday. It was a reminder of what we live for. The result became known as the Holstee Manifesto...
do what you love,
This is your life.
And do it
often.
Holstee Manifesto Wall Decal
We’re so very excited to introduce our original Manifesto as a wall decal! This 48X64 self-adhesive decal (which can be removed, rerolled, and reposted) is made from a PVC-free polyester material that is biodegradable in 70 years. The adhesive backing is phthalate-free, a major plus for our environment, and the paper backing is 100% recyclable. This decal is printed using eco-solvent, low VOC inks, and these materials have all passed the Euro-regulation REACH test. We were determined to present the best possible option, and were pleased to find a way to produce this product without the overuse of harmful chemicals or plastics.

The Upcycled Wallet
Made from upcycled plastic bags and newspapers from the streets of Delhi, the Blue Upcycled Wallet provides a slim, exclusive design that carries your essentials: credit card, cash, ID, transit card. Production of this vegan wallet provides the impoverished with fair wage employment while simultaneously reducing waste in Delhi. Due to the variety of collected materials, no two wallets are alike. Sent to you in a 100% biodegradable packaging (complete with a travel size manifesto), this is a one-of-a-kind wallet for the on-the-go minimalist.
