Smile Sparker Unveils World's First Customer-Priced Online Clothing Store

Sep 4, 2023


New Fashion Platform Empowers Customers to Set Prices and Directly Contribute to Global Charities


New York City, New York Sep 3, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - In a groundbreaking move, Smile Sparker has launched the world's first online clothing store that lets customers decide the price they want to pay. The innovative platform is founded by Shihab Rahman and a passionate team spread across Canada and Bangladesh, rewriting the rules of online retail by providing consumers with cost transparency, a unique pricing model, and a powerful charitable component.

Growing up in Bangladesh, Shihab Rahman was profoundly impacted by the glaring inequities in the clothing industry. Despite the country being one of the world's leading garment exporters, the labor force involved in the creation of these goods is frequently underpaid and overlooked. These workers often live in conditions far from decent, barely able to afford three meals a day.

In contrast, consumers in developed nations often find themselves paying exorbitant prices for clothing simply because it bears a popular brand name or logo. Rahman identified this as an inherently flawed system where customers essentially pay a 'brand tax,' far exceeding the garment's true value. Meanwhile, the hands that actually crafted those clothes continued to live in abject poverty. This jarring disparity fueled a fire within Rahman, igniting a relentless desire for systemic change that could no longer be ignored.

"[Shihab Rahman] realized that the fashion industry was ripe for disruption; it needed a change that would not only make high-quality, stylish clothing accessible but also generate a ripple effect of positive social impact," explains a spokesperson for the brand. "Smile Sparker is Rahman's innovative solution to this complex problem. Each purchase from our store isn't just a financial transaction; it's a concrete step toward making a meaningful difference in the world."

Taking a stand for transparency and consumer empowerment, Smile Sparker openly reveals the cost structure of each garment and offers the buyer the freedom to set their own price. Even more astonishing is that 50% of the amount paid over the cost price is channeled to trusted charitable organizations across the globe, with a primary focus on providing essential nourishment and clothing to underprivileged children.

Making the shopping experience guilt-free, charitable, and feel-good for the customer, allowing them to make conscious choices that serve a greater good. Each purchase becomes a dual act of self-expression and compassion, filling not just closets but also plates and hearts. Knowing that their fashionable choices are directly improving the lives of those less fortunate, customers can take pride in being part of a community that uplifts, inspires, and changes the world.

Within just a few months since its launch in May 2023, Smile Sparker has funneled over $700 to charitable causes. This incredible feat has touched lives in both local and international communities. Partnering with reputable organizations like Save the Children, Child Find of America, and The Lunchbox Fund, Smile Sparker is doing more than just talking about change; they're making it happen. In addition, the company held its inaugural charity event recently, supplying food, garments, and educational materials to impoverished children in Bangladesh. For those interested in seeing the direct impact of their purchases, Smile Sparker's website features a dedicated section, Smile Stories, where customers can follow the brand's philanthropic journey.

But the brand's commitment to change doesn't end with its charity initiatives. Understanding the importance of a sustainable future, Smile Sparker pledges to plant one tree for every single order placed, reiterating its commitment to a more sustainable planet.

Boasting an extensive collection primarily focused on women's fashion across all age groups, as well as a curated selection for men, the brand places great emphasis on ethical sourcing, partnering solely with trusted small businesses in the USA. These collaborations ensure not only the production of sustainable, high-quality products but also the maintenance of fair labor practices.

Smile Sparker invites consumers to be more than just customers; it welcomes them to become active contributors to global well-being. "With each purchase, you're not just adding to your wardrobe; you're adding smiles to the world, becoming a Smile Sparker" adds the company spokesperson.

Madi Mojdeh defies fatigue to strike silver, bronze as La Salle Green Hills nears NCAA back-to-back titles

MANILA, Philippines — La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) standout Behrouz Mohammad ‘Madi’ Mojdeh added two more medals to his tally in the NCAA Season 102 swimming competitions at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila. The 15-year-old standout from the Behrouz Elite Swimming Team (BEST) captured one silver and one bronze, bringing his total collection to one gold, three silvers, and two bronze medals. The reigning NCAA Rookie of the Year claimed the silver in the 200m butterfly with a time of two minutes and 10.31 seconds. The gold medal remained within LSGH as teammate Kristian Yugo Cabana secured the top spot by clocking 2:09.34. “I was really happy to finally break the 2:10 barrier in the 200 Fly. Unfortunately, I was only 0.09 seconds away from breaking the NCAA record, but I'm still very happy with my new personal best and another gold medal in butterfly,” Cabana said. In fact, LSGH swept the event as Gilbert Gonzalvo secured the bronze with a time of 2:12.48. Mojdeh added a bronze in a grueling 400m Individual Medley, clocking 4:45.91—close behind silver medalist Ashton Jose of Letran, who finished with 4:55.25. “Swimming the 200 Fly and 400 IM back-to-back, twice in one day, was really exhausting, especially since I barely had time to recover. But I didn't want to hold back in one event just to save energy for the other. Because I felt like, if I was going to do that, then what was all my hard work in training for?” Mojdeh shared. After being disqualified in the 400m IM last year, Mojdeh expressed joy at bouncing back with a new personal best. “Last year, I got disqualified in the 400 IM, which was really disappointing, but I had to move on quickly because I still had my 200 Fly. This year, I'm really happy that I got new PBs in both events and finished on the podium,” said Mojdeh. “Honestly, on the last lap, I felt like I was about to die already, but I just kept pushing because I didn't want all those hours of training to go to waste,” Mojdeh added. Mojdeh was thrilled that every event he entered this edition resulted in new personal best times. “Of course, I still want to win gold, but I'm happy with my progress. I know I still have a lot to improve, and I'll just keep trusting my training and my coaches. At least I know I gave everything I had, and that's what matters to me,” Mojdeh said. At the close of the third day of competition, the LSGH tankers are within striking distance of securing back-to-back titles in the boys’ division after accumulating a total of 605 points. San Beda University sits in a distant second place with 331.50 points, while Letran is third with 235.50 points. TMT
