If you’re oblivious to the recent furore surrounding Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange, you must have spent the last six months living a Robinson Crusoe-esque existence, foraging for morsels and making things out of plants. For those of you who have been living in such a way, firstly welcome back, secondly – here’s a quick background:

Wikileaks is a not for profit organisation set up with the aim of publishing submissions of private, secret and classified media highlighting government and corporate misconduct. Most famously, the organisation recently published top secret documents they received from an American soldier, prompting international unrest and straining the relations between many heads of state.

With this in mind, here at the GF Shop we were a little bit surprised when we learnt Wikileaks’ next big adventure was to try its hand at the custom clothing market - Wikileaks has gone commercial!

Following the arrest of Julian Assange, Wikileaks has fallen on hard times financially, so have decided to delve wholeheartedly into the world of custom clothing, producing a range of t-shirts and mugs with assorted supportive slogans. Have a look, see what you think...

Predicted to become universally popular amongst students (my prediction anyway), will they reach the dizzy heights of the iconic Che Guevara t-shirts, which at one time adorned every supposed rebellious teenager in Britain, let’s wait and see.

If you want to make a statement of your own, contact The GF Shop today. We are the custom clothing revolutionaries!

In an unexpected turn of events, the political unrest in Egypt, centering on the much maligned presidency of Hosni Mubarak, is set to see the cost of cotton soar, resulting in a price hike of many of your favourite items of clothing.

The price of cotton has already skyrocketed over the past few months as a result of floods in India and Pakistan, as well as an increased demand for the commodity in China.

And never to miss a trick, stock traders have been quick to react, with the price of cotton futures going through the roof.

The Egyptian uprising is the latest and possibly most significant blow in a long line of factors to influence the global cotton market, with Egypt being the world’s largest fine cotton producer.

The major clothing retailers are already warning consumers to expect the prices of clothing in their forthcoming spring catalogues to rise this year, as the depleted cotton supply will be in high demand.

It will be interesting to see just how rising cotton prices will affect the purchasing habits of consumers. It is anticipated that many will simply make the move towards cheaper, alternative materials.  

Fortunately, the high prices are only expected to be temporary. With it currently being mid-season for cotton crops, weather permitting there should be a bumper crop produced this year, allowing the mills to begin to lower their prices.

Here at The GF Store, we do all we can to keep the price of printed and embroidered clothing low. Buy your high quality, low cost, embroidered clothing from us and represent your brand, society or club in the most cost effective way.
