Hey there, friends! A great new project for a super good cause– the Friends of P site is now live!
The brainchild of Yvonne Jukes, Garrett Morin, & Ryan Waller, Friends of P is an awesome project to raise funds for the Lupus Foundation of America, in honor of their mutual friend P. The site features a great cover of The Rentals song “Friends of P” done by Toyko Police Club (watch the little record-player spin!) and the first fifty donations of $15.00 receive a complimentary (and hottt!) tote bag with a limited edition design by Garrett and Ryan, both highly admired contributors to our Part of It project. Help out a good cause and donate today!
And for those who aren’t among the first fifty donations? The tote is now available at the Part of It site.
We’re proud and very happy to announce that Wyeth Hansen’s design for Part of It, “Make Some Noise!” is now available on both natural tote bags (above, $20) and comfy unisex t-shirts ($28). The shirts are a bright white tee, which is perfect for summer sporting! It’s a really sparkling design sure to amp up enthusiasm wherever it goes! A portion of the profits will go to Wyeth’s chosen recipient, the Fresno Arts Council in Fresno, California.
Available now at Part of It. Check it out!
We are soooo excited to release the next product for the Part of It project– smashing “Let’s Be Honest” tees and totes designed by graphic designers Ken Meier and David Yun.
We think it’s a statement everyone can support, especially in this all-important election year in the States. The totes, as above, are printed on a ravishing apple red with white Caslon type ($20), while the tees are on a fine azure blue ($28). On a purely personal level, both items are a great reminder in any context that honesty is the best policy. A portion of the sales benefit Free Press, a US-based, non-partisan organization that promotes decentralized broadcasting and works to reform the media.
Available now at Part of It!
One of our very, very favorite magazines in the whole entire world, Grafik, profiled us and Part of It in their March 2008 issue. We only just got a copy this week, and are thrilled with the way they distilled the founding of Part of It and described the project. Mark Owens’s “Inherit the Wind” bag was featured in their Showcase photo shoot.
Grafik can be a little hard to get in the US (we order our copies from You Work For Them), so we took a couple of snapshots to share. Enjoy!
Speaking of Earth Day and being kind to our environment, here’s a lovely and practical tote designed by Genevieve Guackler. No matter what shape you’re in, or color you’re feeling, this little number will make you feel better. Handy for toting your recyclables, your library books, your water bottle and your munchies, this is a perfect accessory for all seasons.
Available from Part of It, $20.
Design also available on a fetching navy tee, $28.
Wow! We are just so psyched about this!
Nylon Magazine features Part of It’s “Inherit the Wind” tote (designed by Mark Owens, $20.00 from Part of It) in the 2008 April issue. We were excited to be featured alongside designers like Tracy Jenkins of Village, Keren Richter, and the good folks at Loyalty and Blood. So many cool totes, so little time!
With Spring on it’s way, it’s time to start making art… (really, it’s always a good time, but there’s plenty of inspiration growing up these days). This great design by Dustin Hostetler (aka UPSO), formerly available only on t-shirts, is now available on beautiful natural tote bags ($20). A portion of the profits from this design is designated for the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, an awesome arts organization that promotes and supports the arts in Ohio. Totes and tees are both available from the Part of It.
Dustin recently told us that Faesthetic #8 is at the printers. Hey hey hey! That’s totally grand news.
Gluekit is super thrilled that the nice folks at American Way Magazine chose to feature Mike Perry’s “It’s You and Me” shirt from Part of It in a recent column. A portion of the profits from sales of the design are designated for NARSAD, an organization that is focused on finding ways to identify and find treatment for psychiatric disorders. Part of It was one of six initiatives featured, all of which funnel money toward good causes.

What’s more apt than a lovely Library tote bag to haul your favorite tomes and zines around in?
With Spring right around the corner, this navy tote bag ($20.00) could serve as a fresh carry-all right through the summer season. A portion of the sales of this item (as well as its sibling, the Library t-shirt), both designed by the talented Mr. Ryan Waller, will go to the New York Public Library.
Available at Part of It.
A new Part of It tote bag has arrived!
The awesome and very talented Garrett Morin has created a design that honors the non-profit work and selfless spirit of Craig Murphey. Craig, who passed away in 2007, was a community advocate who worked hard to contribute to the things he believed in. One of those things was the RightRides/SafeWalk program which he helped set up in Brooklyn. Garrett’s design– “Who’s Gonna Drive You Home Tonight” features a bike-riding knight in shining armor leading the way towards a time when no one has to fear walking home alone.
Garrett’s chosen RightRides as the charity to benefit from sales of this design.
RightRides is a New York-based grassroots non-profit that offers people a free, late-night ride home to ensure their safety. In addition to the escort program, RightRides offers safety awareness and educational programs focused on building safe communities. Through their website, you can donate money directly to their programs, or volunteer to help out if you’re in the New York City area. [You can be someone's shining knight yourself.]
Keep smiling, keep cycling, and keep trying to make the word a better, safer place.
Exciting news for Part of It!
We’ve learned the project is featured in the latest issue of Good Magazine (Issue 009 / March-April 200 
along with some other t-shirt endeavors that strive to make a difference.
We’re super thrilled to find ourselves in such excellent company.
Part of It is pleased to make available this classy Museum tote, created by Ryan Waller (http://www.thingmaking.com).
Like his popular Library design, it’s available as both a tote ($20) and a tee ($28).
Ryan’s designated the Museum of Modern Art to receive a portion of the profits from this design.
Ryan also has an awesome zine we highly recommend– The New College Beat. Super yeah!
