100,000 elephants have been killed in the last four years due to illegal poaching for their ivory. The ivory, found in the elephant’s tusks, has been part of a trade in the black market between poachers. The ivory from the tusks can be used to make anything from jewelry to religious items. With the rate these elephants are being slaughtered, in 10 years there may not be any left .

These majestic mammals have now taken over the Bohemian style, not only as the latest fashion obsession, but also as a way to save these animals from deadly poaching. Companies like “Ivory Ella” and “The Elephant Pants” sell elephant-printed clothing and donate a portion of their profits to saving these endangered animals.

Ivory Ella sells simple long sleeve, short sleeve and tank top tees with the outline of an elephant on the back, which have grown to be quite popular. They offer a wide variety of colors and prints and have even gone above and beyond tees, expanding their market to sell water bottles, jewelry and even phone cases. All have the outline of their Ivory Ella, of course! Their shirts are also unisex, so you and your significant other can save the elephant population together. Their website states that their shirts “not only help you look cute, but help save the elephants as well!”

Ivory Ella donates 10% of their net profits to savetheelephants.org. Savetheelephants.org aims to spread awareness to a global audience about the danger elephants face. They also work side-by-side with wildlife departments to keep the elephants away from these poachers, and eventually, extinction. Their main goal is to ultimately stop the demand for ivory and in turn, stop the ivory trade all together, allowing the elephants to live freely and happily.

Similarly, the company The Elephant Pants donates anywhere from $1 to $4 from every item purchased. Unlike Ivory Ella, The Elephant Pants donates their funds to the African Wildlife Foundation. The Elephant Pants offers harem pants, shorts, tote bags rompers, jewelry and even tapestries.

The elephant apparel has become quite popular, and for good reason. Ivory Ella and The Elephant Pants are only two of the many companies that are saving elephants in danger by appealing to men and women alike with their trendy clothing. You can save the elephants and look stylish in the process!

These shirts make wonderful holiday and birthday gifts. Give a gift to a loved one, while donating to a highly worthwhile cause.
