Drip Collection: Yemen Mug [11oz]
11 oz., 100% ceramic, dishwasher/microwave safe mug. The design is based on the idea of yemen crying in pain, showcasing tears coming from the word Yemen written in formal arabic calligraphy. You may notice, however, that the drip does not have the qualities of water, nor those of typical tears. Mixed with emotion, mixed with pain, mixed with the countless tragic stories as a result of violence; Thinner than blood, but thicker than water: the viscosity of the tears serves to represent the difference in weight of the country's pain in comparison to our own daily matters. By wearing this design, you help to spread awareness of the tragedies that are taking place within Yemen, and through your specific purchase, up to 80% of the proceeds are donated in the hopes of helping someone in need.
Up to 80% of the proceeds go to charity via: www.piousprojects.org/campaign?id=689

Mission Summary
Every piece of clothing we design is affiliated with a country or a cause; for every piece of clothing bought, up to 80% is donated to the charity in question. Please see the product descriptions for the exact charity the funds for that specific product will be directed to, or scroll down for an exact overview.
For products that have no specific allocation in their description, the funds will be given to a campaign through https://www.piousprojects.org/ (mainly). After $200 has been donated to a campaign, we move onto the next campaign and repeat. Below is a tentative list of charities based on country. These are subject to changed based on the completion of the campaign.
Expense Breakdown
As with any company, there are expenses that are in place to keep the company going: we keep roughly 20% to cover these expenses.
1 - International/National Taxes:
- Credit/Debit card companies charge a set 2.5-3.0% charge on every transaction. This is a national standard set by these companies and is out of our control.
- International Tariff Taxes are set by countries as a whole, and to avoid this, we source and produce all of our products within the USA. However, some countries do charge for export, and we do our best to cover this, but since the rate is not uniform, we are up-charged in some countries and down-charged in others.
2 - Affiliate Marketing
Unlike other countries that advertise and fill your inbox, Noble Designs believes in promoting and standing with people who we believe have ideals that align with our purpose. This means that after a background check, potential affiliates are reached out to in hopes of establishing and promoting a good relationship with their audience. We offer our affiliates up to 10% per product profit in exchange for advertising; just as they represent us, we represent them.
3 - Company maintenance
This includes everything from sourcing and producing our designs (paying the artists behind them), apparel, and product shipping. Due to our volunteers and partnerships, this cost is minimal, but is essential as it serves as the backbone to Noble Designs.
For the above listed reasons, we keep roughly 20% and direct it towards these overhead costs. Per month, if our costs are lower, we will give more than 80%. But, conversely, if they are higher, we will take enough to cover the necessary cost needed to maintain our operations.

We recommend going with your standard american sizing and then double checking with your waist size. Normal waist size will give a fitted look, while a size up will give a loose look.
Everything non-champion will fit like a generic article clothing from Express [more form fitting, we recommend sizing up for a loose fit], while champion sizing is the same as the brand you already know and love. Everything at Noble Designs is true to american sizing, so please stick to your normal sizing for intended fit. We recommend sizing up if you are trying to avoid a form fitting look.
We do not represent or claim to be partners with Express/Champion; we only work with their suppliers and have similar items in terms of quality.
Please allow up to .5-1 inches extra to account for undergarments that will make the clothing fit more tightly. Size up when hesitant: modest fashion is trending now more than ever!
