fashion alchemy - mango and paulo coelho create solidarity t-shirts

fashion alchemy

chic, charitable and well-read—with so much going for you, why not show it off?

high street retailers partnering with high fashion designers is nothing new—but when one teams up with a famous author, well, you just don’t see that every day. enter mango—the spanish shop where we love to score sweet deals—with a new t-shirt line emblazoned with quotes by paul coelho. he’s author of more than 20 books, including the alchemist, which harvey weinstein is soon turning into a movie. the tees, with graphics that resemble book spines, feature inspirational bon mots like “everyone has a treasure that is waiting just for them,” and “when you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you realize your desire.” at $29.90, a portion of the proceeds go to coelho’s non-profit in his native brazil.

- When you want something, the whole Universe conspires to help you realize your desire.

- Everyone has a treasure that is waiting just for them.

- Love is the key to understanding all mysteries.

- What is the real "I"? It's what you are, not what others make of you.

- The Good Fight is the one that we fight in the name of our dreams.

- We are responsible for everything that happens in this world.
