Make a statement in more ways than one.

This rolled sleeve white tee features our bold Read Banned Books slogan, highlighting the 10,000+ book bans recorded in U.S. schools last year (PEN America, 2023–24). It's a simple way to stand up for free expression, banned voices, and the right to read without censorship.

Soft, comfortable, and consciously styled, this is a relaxed-fit t-shirt you can wear anywhere, from your local bookshop or library to your favourite book group meeting (The Secret Book Swap, perhaps).

Pair it with a tote (available in a separate listing) featuring the same design and message.

Because reading banned books never goes out of style.

We’ve printed this design on a premium Earth Positive garment.

I bought this design from an Ukrainian creator on Etsy. It was an idea suggested on social media as a way to get money straight to Ukrainian individuals.

I really love the design and message so have decided to make it into a bag but where each sale would include a donation to a Ukrainian charity.

Made from 100% cotton

Available in grey, black or natural

Bag size (exc. handles): 38 x 42cm

10% of profits from this bag will be donated to a Ukrainian/Ukrainian Refugee charity
