Our Mission
Our Mission at Teascarf Brooklyn
At Teascarf Brooklyn, we believe in the power of art to transform lives, challenge norms, and build a more equitable world. Founded by artist Reed Slater, our business is rooted in resilience, creativity, and inclusion. Through every scarf and pillow cover we create, we strive to celebrate individuality and inspire connection.
Transforming Challenges into Beauty
Teascarf Brooklyn was born from an unexpected discovery: the unique patterns created by steeped tea bags. What began as an experiment became a transformative journey, led by Reed, a disabled artist who has navigated life with a traumatic brain injury. This experience taught us that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and that resilience can turn obstacles into opportunities.
Empowering Through Art
Our mission goes beyond creating beautiful products. We aim to empower individuals by.
Celebrating Diversity: From our ethnically diverse models to the stories we tell through our work, we embrace the richness of human experience.
Redistributing Resources: A portion of our proceeds supports organizations advocating for disability rights, racial equity, and access to the arts.
Fostering Inclusion: We ensure accessibility in everything we do—from our online experience to the communities we engage with.
A Platform for Change
We believe art is a powerful tool for advocacy and education. At Teascarf Brooklyn, we use our platform to:
Amplify voices from underrepresented communities.
Partner with initiatives that create opportunities for marginalized groups.
Share stories that inspire empathy, understanding, and action.
Our Vision
We envision a world where creativity breaks down barriers, and businesses are tools for justice and sustainability. Teascarf Brooklyn is more than a brand—it’s a movement to celebrate resilience, embrace diversity, and inspire transformation.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can make the world more beautiful, equitable, and inclusive—one scarf at a time.
