Tea Towels

You’ll never elect to wash again when you have your own custom made tea towel in the dryers seat.

Carry bags
Supplied by Handibags Australia, the Don’t Sweat carry bags are manufactured from heavy weight calico. Sized 42cm x 42 cm, the bags have two short handles, 2.5 x 43 cm, perfect slinging over your arm and using in the place of nasty plastic bags.

Aprons
Never underestimate the value of a good apron! Think of what you will save in washing and dry cleaning resources with one of Don’t Sweat’s custom made aprons. Sized 85cm x 60cm and manufactured form cotton drill, the aprons feature a nifty front pocket, perfect for stashing, well, whatever it is you like to stash.

Headbands
The Karate Kid, Pat Cash and Axel Rose didn’t infiltrate the zeitgeist with their talent alone. All three knew that to make it to the top, they had to harness the power of the headband. Now there is no limit to the glass ceilings you can crash or the number of wooden blocks you can smash with a single hand. Sized 5cm x 110 cm and made from homespun cotton, the Don’t Sweat Shop headbands are the final word in mid naughties anti cool. Period.

The Don’t Sweat Shop will also provide members of the public the opportunity to create and customize their own bookmarks, badges and never-leave-home without-one Don’t Sweat Vomit Bags – to be used in the event of sickness or nausea resulting from Games Fever.
