Kopos

The labor that costs something. One life from the faith on every shirt, drawn as an icon.

The work

Kopos is Paul's word for the labor that wears a person down: the work you carry past the point of comfort, and carry anyway. It is what a monk does before dawn, and what a mother does at the end of a long day. The saints on these shirts knew it well.

Kopos exists for two reasons. The first is to carry the image of Christ and His saints back into ordinary days, where they have always belonged. The second is to give.

On the second we will be plain with you. We are small, and the means are not yet ours. But we are building toward the day when part of what this brand earns goes to church-run food drives and to charities that feed whoever comes to the door, whatever they believe. As Kopos grows, so does what it gives.

We didn't put Jesus on a shirt only to make money off Him. We did it so that one day this can do some real good for people.
