Look at this T-shirt. Look at it closely. How much would you be willing to spend on it?
How much would you be willing to spend on it if you knew that it was produced from 100% pure organic cotton?
How much would you be willing to spend on it if you knew this 100% organic T-shirt was manufactured using only renewable energy?
And how much would you be willing to spend on it if you knew this 100% organic T-shirt with a carbon footprint reduced by 90% was adorned with 16 real diamonds that amount to a whooping 9 carats?
Probably still not as much as The Most Expensive T-Shirt In The World is going to charge you for this made-to-order luxury item: £256,500. According to xe.com, this currently translates to $399,889.81.
Just to give you something to compare the value of this shirt to: In New Orleans, you can purchase a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom home with a pool and a nice piece of land surrounding it. You could also buy 16 Mazda 6's. Or take your spouse on 67 all inclusive three-week transatlantic cruises. Or donate16,665 measles vaccine crates at unicefusa.org, which is enough to vaccinate 1,333,200 children in underprivileged countries around the world.
To be fair, though, the shirt comes with two perks: an included one-year warranty (excluding improper use, accidental damage, loss and theft, of course) and free worldwide shipping.
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly way to be green and still express your style uniquely, however, consider the option of taking an "ordinary" organic cotton T-shirt and turning it into your own million-dollar-style by having it custom embroidered at a place like Orleans Embroidery in New Orleans.
