New Label: Acropolis

Going along with trend of environment friendly fashion, here comes a label that goes beyond the typical organic tees - they are trying to inspire deep thoughts with their products.

Acropolis Apparel taps into  ancient Roman teachings. With each article of clothing representing an old world state of mind. For example, their "living god" women's tank features a Pharaoh on the side along with this description:

Pharaoh was the ancient Egyptian name for the office of kingship. The term began as a reference to the king's palace, but the meaning loosened over the course of Egyptian history until in the late period it was interchangeable with the Egyptian word for king. Contrary to many languages, the same word was used for any ruler of Egypt, female or male. Such rulers were believed to be the incarnation of Horus.

Different? Yes, but it's a new year and never hurts to try new things!
