riksand IS A PASSION PROJECT THAT HAS BLOSSOMED OVER THE YEARS STARTING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 94-95. THROUGH MANY INFLUENCES, INSPIRATIONS, FRIENDSHIPS, AND LIFE EXPERIENCES riksand GREW INTO ITS OWN AND WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED ON 7/7/17.
OUR FIRST tSHIRTS PAY RESPECT TO THE FOUNDATION IT WAS BUILT UPON, AS WELL AS THE AREA'S THAT WERE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL IN OUR GROWTH. OUR MOTTO UNITED BY THE LOVE OF... IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF riksand, AND OUR GOAL IS TO SHARE OUR PHILOSOPHY ALONG WITH GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE EARTH.
WHEN YOU PURCHASE A riksand SHIRT YOU DON'T JUST GET A SHIRT! YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO FEED THE EARTH WITH LOVE & LIFE.
LOVE: IN OUR EYES WE ARE ALL UNITED BY THE LOVE OF SOMETHING, SO WE AT riksand PREFER TO FOCUS ON WHAT UNITES US AS INDIVIDUALS AS OPPOSED TO WHAT SEPARATES US. HELP US SPREAD THIS MESSAGE BY BECOMING A LINK IN THE riksand UNITY CHAIN. ALSO WITH MOST SALES $1.00 WILL GO TO OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUND TO SEND LOCAL YOUTH TO SUMMER CAMPS. WE ARE BIG ADVOCATES FOR GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY & YOUTH, AND THIS IS ONE WAY WHERE WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEIR PASSIONS.
LIFE: EACH ONE OF OUR SHIRTS COMES WITH A SMALL PACK OF WILDFLOWER SEEDS. THIS IS TO SYMBOLIZE HOW riksand CAME TO BE. IT ALL STARTED WITH A SEED, AND THROUGH NOURISHMENT IT SLOWLY DEVELOPED AND MATURED. YES THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS, AND WE HOPE TO INSPIRE YOU TO CONTINUE TO GROW INTO THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE. HELP US FEED THE EARTH WITH LIFE. PLANT YOUR WILDFLOWER SEEDS AND HELP SAVE THE BEES.
OUR PASSIONS ARE WHAT INSPIRE THE CREATION OF OUR SHIRTS. WE HOPE THAT EVENTUALLY ONE OF THESE SHIRTS WILL SPEAK TO YOU AND YOU'LL BECOME PART OF THE riksand FAMILY. WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR BRAND AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING OUR UNITY CHAIN GROW, AND OUR SEEDS BLOSSOM.
YOURS IN UNITY,
RICKY SANDERS
