Distro Disco is an organization based out of Vancouver that is dedicated to distributing donated goods to unhoused people in Vancouver. They often do popups in parks and parking lots with their "free store" allowing anyone in need to come by and get some much needed survival supplies; something that can be the difference between life and death when living on the streets. Distro Disco is a volunteer run organization, and more info can be found about them at their Instagram page at distro_disco. They are always in need of cashflow in order to pay for vehicle repairs, maintenance, gas, and administrative stuff. 10 dollars from the sale of each patch will be going directly to Distro Disco (I am keeping no money for myself). The extra cost is to cover Etsy numerous fees, as well as shipping materials. All patches are hand drawn, silk screened, hand made by me. No AI is used for anything I make Depending on how you sew the patches, they may fray a bit over time, or when put in the wash. If you want a frayed look, use a more spaced apart stich pattern. If you want to prevent fraying, use a tight, close together stich pattern. Black Fabric: 100% cotton, 10-12 oz canvas or 14 oz twill (depending on availability)Natural Fabric: 100% cotton, 10-12 oz canvas (depending on availability)other fabrics: material and weight will vary. other fabrics are either salvaged from worn out clothing, with the still good fabric cut out for the patches, or are thrifted. upcycled fabrics may show slight signs of wear. Care: patches are colour fast and the print will survive in the wash. they can go in the dryer, but I recommend hanging to dry any garment with patches sewn on to them. DO NOT IRON THE PRINTED AREA. if you do need to iron the patch, either upside down or with a piece of fabric between the patch and the iron. Shipping: to keep prices down, patches are sent in an envelope via letter mail. no tracking is available in the basic shipping option. If you would like a tracking number, there is an option to add tracking at check out. all patches are silk screened by hand, and may have slight imperfections, nothing that will take away from the image.
