Female Founded Glasgow Fashion Brand Kiwi & Co Donates 10% of Profit to Woman's Aid
Glasgow founded independent fashion brand Kiwi & Co has had a beautiful connection with its female customers since it’s humble beginnings in female founder Melissa Lanigan’s living room in 2020, established with the goal to bring colour and joy to people’s lives during the uncertainty of the covid pandemic.
Since then, the brand has completely exploded, now supplying their cool girl styles on retail giant ASOS as well as having huge influencers hooked on the brand – notably Shakira Khan (the people’s princess of Love Island season 12), who can frequently be seen sporting Kiwi’s iconic knits on socials, as well as being featured on hit BBC show Traitors.
The brand not only helps everyday women find their confidence through its bold, beautiful colours and styles, but it’s now vowing to give back 10% of all knitwear profits until Mother’s Day on Sunday the 15th of March to the incredibly important charity Women’s Aid. Women’s Aid is built on the vitally important ethos of protecting women in dangerous domestic situations.
Doctor Who (2005-2023); Highs and Lows, Ups and Down, Timeys and Wimeys
Doctor Who has long enjoyed a certain prestige as the longest-running science fiction television series. In 2010, Guinness World Records recognised it as 'the most successful science fiction television show in the world,' based on metrics such as DVD sales and online viewership.
The show has been running for so long that even its revival, relaunched in 2005 after being shelved in 1989 for declining quality, is now 20 years old. Heck, it survives into the modern day through a third revival tailored specifically for streaming, backed these days by big daddy Disney money (not to mention the works of Big Finish, which have secretly been keeping the lights on for decades and will presumably continue on long after humanity is extinct and the world has been consumed by flames - eta: next Tuesday).
