Love is the key to understanding all mysteries.
I dig it!
T-shirts are wonderful!!!
The problem is in me. I prefer more feminine style: beautiful dresses, dresses, dresses… :)
Anyway, positive messages on T-shirts – that’s GREAT!
I wish they will have shirts like that for guys in the Philippines. I’d like to have one…
I was not able to get one
we dont have it here in SAUDIA
thanx Mr coello
I really like the designs.
I think it’s wonderful that you are helping the children in Rio de Janeiro. I hope they sell like crazy!!
Love Kathleen xxoo
wow.. there are only two styles left online.. but these are pink ;o)
Weirdly….I have just ordered two, was quite complicated, when I clicked on the t-shirt, I could select a different colour and then I got a different style…
Am really not sure what I have actually ordered, the helpline isn’t open until tomorrow, but that’s ok I love a mystery…
Great cause, so am very pleased to be able to contribute.
T-Hee.. :D
great;o) i’ll see if it works also for me !
Hope it will be sold in Ukraine.

Dear Paulo, I like all…but the most interesting to MYSELF is the number 3…
good luck to u and your projects
Lycka tyll till dig och din projekt
Caro Paulo,
perchè non organizzi la vendita on-line, visto che tu ami tanto internet? Potresti vendere più facilmente in tutto il mondo e raccoglieresti così tanti fondi da sostenere non solo i tuoi 430 bambini ma molti, molti di più! Dimmi, non è possibile fare questo? Tu sei un grande imprenditore di te stesso, oltre che un super-eccellente scrittore. Pensaci. E’ per una buona causa! Con amore, Margherita
Dear Margherita
I simply don’t know how to do it.
Dear Paulo,
I realize that you are locked into a partnership with Mango, but beyond that contract, there are other marking models which you could follow. Some of these utilize not only the profits but also the product to help children in need. A very good example of one of these models is TOMS shoes.

“marketing models” I meant to say
Thanks Savita for that.
Good on you TOMS …Keep walking!

I particularly like the one that says: WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORLD. Just yesterday, I watched the film “Shaka Zulu,” and this theme of shared responsibility is one that comes through very clearly in one of the final scenes of the movie. So often we hear the excuse, “I didn’t instigate the problem or commit the crime – it isn’t my responsibility to fix it or make amends for it.” Oh, but it is! It is all our responsibility.
hey Mestre,
Amei as camisetas!!! Amei as frases!!!
Parabéns por mais esta iniciativa!!
Todos os dias vc faz algo em que eu suspiro meu “Chapeau bas” Paulo… e essa é uma das razões de vc ser Mestre pra mim…
Deus continue abençoando vc, a Chris, e a todos aqui…
MARG,

Great website, Keith! Thanks for the link.
Here’s what I’m thinking, though: While critiques of the system bring awareness of the sweatshop industries and the gross violations of human rights which they pose, what are our immediately accessible alternatives, as consumers? I’m not saying that the critiques of and the campaigns against this system do not serve a purpose. They definitely do. But what I’m suggesting is the need for additional or complimentary campaigns which are focused upon making consumers aware of precisely what there alternatives are. I searched the website, only briefly, but found nothing which addressed this aspect of the problem.
There is no doubt that, due to such campaigns, there is increasing public awareness and concern over these issues. However, while many consumers might like to make a change in their buying habits and are willing to forego purchases from the offenders, they remain unaware of how to search out alternatives and how to assess whether or not what they are buying is, in fact, produced in a sweat shop environment. Say, for example, they are willing to boycott the offenders; how do they know who they SHOULD BE purchasing their goods from?
I read one comment on the website which stated, “Real change can only be achieved through government regulation that protects the rights of workers supplying UK companies.” While I agree with this statement, in part, what I do not agree with is that this is the ONLY WAY. It seems to me that regulation is only part of the solution. The second part of the solution is to educate consumers on what their alternatives really are, so that they CAN change their buying habits. In today’s highly consumerist society, people cast their votes not only at the ballot box, but also at the cash register – money (i.e. sales) often speak louder than laws. As long as there is a market for these “dirty” goods and the producers have economic power (via their enormous sales), the wheels of the machine will continue to turn. So, while petitions for changes in regulation can be effective, they are not necessarily AS effective as changing the buying habits of consumers.
So, what are the alternatives? Pretend that you are addressing someone who has an empty closet and who needs to go out tomorrow and purchase some clothes: Where would you tell this person to go to shop? What brands would you suggest that they buy? What would you tell them to look for to determine whether or not the goods they are considering are produced in sweat shops? As we all know, it’s not like you can walk into a store and pick up a shirt and read on the label “THIS GARMENT WAS PRODUCED IN A SWEAT SHOP.” So, how can one tell? Further, pretend that this consumer does not live in a major metropolitan city and does not have access to internet purchasing (as this is, in fact, the real-world situation of many consumers) – they cannot simply run out to one of these new shops that advertises itself as “clean” of human-rights violations.
I hope you see the point I’m making – I think there is a step which is missing in the proposed solution. That step is consumer education on viable and READILY accessible alternatives.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Savita
Can’t wait to get these!
Como brasileira, tenho orgulho de seu trabalho como escritor e mais ainda por esta iniciativa! Parábens!
Great T-Shirts! Will look for them in Japan!
these are wonderful!!!! I can´t wait to get one of those!!!
Great Ideaa Mr.Paulo!
The blue one is perfect. Can I get them in Eastern Europe?
Omg! I got to have these shirts! Will it be available in Indonesia?
I checked and they are already online in most countries
Wooooooow. I hope I would be able to buy one.
Mr. Coelho is really the best.
Sir you inspire me. I love your books so much! (:
Dear Paolo,
I tried to get the t-shirts in Munich, as soon as I saw the announcement on facebook.
Sad enough, Munich Mango shops DO NOT OFFER them!!! Are they offered at all in Germany?
If not, is there any possibility of ordering online?
Thanx for help of anybody who had to make the same experience and found a solution
Will they be available at Prince Leonard 2?
Oh Paulo how I love all your books! Thank you for writing all those and good luck for many many more. And thank you for spreading the message of peace and love all around!
I can hardly wait to get my hands on the Tee which has a message about fighting for your dreams….that’s so me! I sincerely wish that more people would take up the fight for the love of their dreams and not in the name of anything else.
Peace,
S
Me gustaria saber ¿cuando podre comprar estas blusas en venezuela? ademas de saber ¿cuando sera el lanzamiento de su nuevo libro en este pais?
Gracias Paola
I would like to know where I can buy these shirts in Venezuela? Besides knowing when will the launch of his new book in this country?
Thanks Paola.

Did they release here in the Philippines? Oh. I badly want those shirts. :(
Sang-ayon ako, sana mayroon na nito dito sa Pilipinas (I agree, I wish we had them here in the Philippines).
I am slightly taller than the average Filipino, and I’m very thin. Mango’s clothes are the ones that fit me best.
They are all so beautiful!…I have to get me those three….I am so inspired by your Paulo Coelho Institute ;)…thank you & I wish all the best to the 430 children in Rio de Janeiro and all your other projects..May you be more blessed…oxoxoxoxo…
Paulo,
Am I correct in thinking that these t-shirts are for women only?
What about the mens range?
Please don’t deprive us of this treasure.
I’ll wait my kimou buy it for me :)))
Thanks Paulo:)

Saludos y que siga el exito Paulo, has sido un gran maestro para mi!!!
:D
please take organic cotton for your collection
it’s good when you are flying.nothing beats natural fiber.
Paulo,
I’m very thrilled to hear you’re releasing the second series. Unfortunately I live in Houston, TX, USA and there are no Mango stores around. Just spoke with the San Fransisco store and they don’t have the t-shirts yet and even if they would they don’t sell over the phone. Hope they make them available online.
Thanks,
Peace
They did that when we released the first edition. Probably everything will be in place next week
thanks for your support
This is an amazing thing.. My favorite is the pink one… of course its not only the color… but what’s printed on it…. Would these be available in India too… can anyone tell me that….
love from Athens Greece
Yay, Asal! Glad to see another Texan on Paulo’s blog.
Savita
Wow I can’t wait to have’em!
Thanks Sir. Paulo :)
Me pido la rosa, la malva y la blanca y desde luego que es una iniciativa fabulosa Paulo. Te deseo todo lo mejor que a esos niños nunca les falte de nada y que lleguen a ser adultos y te lleven en su carazón.
Un beso grande, grande, grande. Me encantaría ver ese centro.
Tomorrow I will show this to Rune. He will be very happy! Can we find these T-shirts in Norway? We will sell coffe and cakes for poor children in India on Saturday. :-)
Could I get those T-shirst online too?
I would love one, they’re very original, have a meaning and stand for something I really believe in
These are wonderful! Congratulations Paulo!
I need to find one for myself!!
kisses!
So brilliant idea!A good messages are spreading around the world,and the money earned, will help those in need.
I´m not always proud about working in the fashion industry (I´m a visual merchandiser at MANGO in Stockholm) but this truly makes me proud!!! Know from last year that I´ll have to get me one of those Tees quickly cause they sell out really fast!!! Thx mr Cohelo for making the world just a little brighter and for the inspiration you bring!! Keep up the good work! Love Shams!
Confession from an ex- visual merchandiser: I used to feel the same way, Shams. In fact, that’s why I finally quit the business. Funny though, I was just thinking today how I miss using the skills of the trade, as I’ve never had a chance to employ those same skills in any other line of work. It is true that in visual merchandising (or, at least this was my experience) that one can begin to feel that one’s artistic skills are being put to use for the most profane purposes. However, I think that, if one enjoys the work that they do and they are good at it, there is probably some way to find an avenue for the expression of those skills that does not pinch one’s conscience. I never thought of that back then, when I quit – I just concluded that the whole business was corrupt and wholly irredeemable, and therefore, I wanted no part of it. Now, I’m not so sure that this was an accurate assessment. If you love what you do, maybe just look for another way to do it – perhaps a different employer, whose vision and values more closely match your own.
Best to you!
Love,
Savita
YES, sooooooooooo SO SO exciting! Positive messages everywhere : )
Much Love to All, Jane : ) xo
I wish I can have one from SAUDI ARABIA
