Looking for a cute present to give to that special someone? Bring Doug into their life, a recycled cotton fashion accessory that can be worn as a headband, necklace, be tied to your bag or bike—the possibilities are endless!

100% of the proceeds go to No Nasties’ social enterprise initiative, Once Upon A Doug, which provides a secondary source of income for the women in the cotton farming communities in India. These are the very women who create Doug which is a symbol of their struggles and hope, and represents their silver lining on a cloudy day!

No Nasties are actively working to support the cotton farming industry in India. Over the last 20 years over 300,000 cotton farmers in India have committed suicide due to the unreliability of income provided by the modern cotton industry. No Nasties is addressing this issue by growing the ethical consumer market in India by working with a farmers’ co-operative and a fair trade factory to make 100% certified organic cotton, fair trade, and vegan products.
