| ABOUT US
Our
company began with a few shirts on a table at a Farmer's Market in Montana.
Thanks to you, we're now spreading our positive message – and our sustainable
products – across the country.
Our
current designs feature animals that are threatened by a variety of conditions,
including global warming, human encroachment into animal's habitat, and hunting.
Although their survival has been threatened, dedicated conservation efforts are
helping them recover.
Sometimes
today's environmental challenges can seem overwhelming. But we think that the
difficulties facing us are actually opportunities in disguise. We believe that
by making small lifestyle changes we can lead a global green revolution (and
with our products, be stylish too!).
Swell Foop shirts are all 100% organic cotton and are made, printed and
finished right here in the USA. We are proud to continue our support of
non-profits dedicated to environmental causes. We donate 10% of all proceeds to
groups that are particularly effective in helping to make the world a greener
place. We are currently supporting Earth Island Institute and American Wildlands
|
We are now in retail stores in 9 states and have sold shirts via our website to almost the entire country - 48/50 states! (If anyone in North Dakota or Mississippi wants to bring us up to 50/50, please do!) Check out this map that shows (in green) all the states we've sold to: |

We are still a small company, but we have big dreams of Saving the World in One Swell Foop!

Owner Information
Swell Foop is co-owned by sisters Natalie Gauthier Scheider and Michelle Gauthier Lynchard. We think working together while spreading a positive message and helping the environment is the best job anyone could ask for!
We are both Moms and want to teach our children to take care of their planet. This summer, Natalie's oldest daughter helped her make many meals from their organic garden. Michelle's son helps with the family's recycling, and his favorite toy is currently a model of the recycling truck that comes to their house weekly. We love the idea of selling a product that can help make our planet more "green" while still being fun and stylish. |
