Asos launches Choose Love NHS charity tee designed by Katharine Hamnett

Online retailer Asos has launched a limited edition Choose Love T-shirt range to raise funds for care worlds and NHS staff. The T-shirts designed by Katharine Hamnett, have been sourced and printed by Asos to replicate the designer’s iconic Choose Love t-shirts, with new slogans ‘Choose Our Carers’ and ‘Choose Our NHS’.

The new designs aim to show “solidarity and support for the nation’s care workers and NHS staff,” explained Asos, while also raising vital funds as net profits from the T-shirt sales will be donated to The Care Workers Charity and NHS Charities Together. In addition, Asos will also make an additional donation to match the net profits raised through sales via its sites.

The Choose Our Carers and Choose Out NHS organic cotton T-shirts cost 20 pounds each.

Josie Naughton, chief executive of Help Refugees / Choose Love, said in a statement: “Our incredible care workers and NHS staff are choosing love every day as they help others. These t-shirts are our way of showing love for them in our turn. We are so honoured to be able to support the ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things in the face of this pandemic."

Ellie Orten, chief executive of NHS Charities, added: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the public’s support for the NHS and the Choose Love t-shirts will help raise valuable funds for frontline NHS staff, volunteers and patients at this incredibly difficult time. We must never underestimate the importance of showing our continued solidarity and support to the NHS workforce.”
