5% goes to the 1st beneficiary. £160 for a pair of pj's. Not sure that is a great business model. Really don't like this at all. Launching a business where mental wellbeing is at its heart....I'd Really like to hear more about how you intend to grow the financial support for mental health providers and partners and how you choose beneficiaries. No chance I'd give money to you over a mental health organisation such as Mind.

[Pysgod]

Awww go on, I bet you'd look great in those gender neutral PJ'S

I'm sorry you feel that way. 
Just to be clear, this is a crowdfunder to start a new 'purpose led' business. It's not a charity but that said I don't think that many people give any percentages whatsoever away from crowdfunders to charities when they're trying to get the funding to start a new business.

If you look at similar PJ brands like Desmond and Dempsey or sleepy Jones etc. The pricing for these is actually pretty competitive especially when you consider these are designed by some well known artists and are limited editions also. 

The main aim of PJOYS is to help make mental health an everyday conversation. Michelle who started the company suffered from a severe burn out and depression and is trying to create a brand that can do some good from her own experience. Her company Livity is one of the leading social enterprises in London and has helped countless young people  over its 20 years.

Michelle is also a mental health first aid trainer and pretty much spends all her time talking about mental health to companies and individuals.
Mind are also one of the many charities that are supporting Pjoys by the way.
The online platform will also be used to share people's mental health stories.

I hope this gives you more of an idea into the brand and maybe makes you give it a chance.

Right?!

I remember as a young man admiring Kofie's work at White Walls gallery in SF on many occasions, here we are over a decade later and I finally am showing him!

[Villain Dillon]

Proper legend and master of his craft.

[bsharp]

Digging this exhibition - picked up a canvas. Thanks Ken!

For those interested, new Augustine Kofie print available (HPM, Ed. of 30) :

store.hashimotocontemporary.com/collections/prints/products/augustine-kofie-pyledriver-print

[mvsk]

honestly i like it, shame they didn't go for the silkscreen print though. a bit odd. not too many colors to go against price but it is $250 so makes sense.

love it nevertheless

[Deleted]

That's lovely. Wasn't previously aware of him, but his work is really nice.

Hi,
I'm interested in originals by Augustine Kofie.
Preferably collage work from the 2010s, but show me anything you've got!

Direct messages, please. Thanks!

[The Origin]

Hello

Looking to let this one go.

It’s an original work by Augustine Kofie measuring 15.5 x 20.5 inches.

Framed in yardsticks by the artist

The work is in London.

Please DM with any interest. 

[Dahmer]

Lovely piece but that looks like quite large, are you sure it’s 20x15 ?

Yes it’s smaller than it looks! Probably get a better idea in this photo with some context behind it 

[Wanchope]

Don't know anything about this artist, but I have to say what a lovely looking piece and love the idea of the ruler frame! GLWS

[topper]

Nice piece. Got a bit of an urban Charlotte Keates feel. GLWTS

[mandem]

Every time I see this I want to buy it, but I am poor.
