The latest is inspired by George Orwell's novel and so-hot-right-now 1980's fonts and graphics; it's available on 100% SKAL-certified organic cotton Fairtrade slate blue t-shirts. What's more, if you sign up to Tonic's mailing list, you'll get a 30% discount on your order, bringing down the cost of this £22 to just £16. Who said ethical fashion was expensive?
