There is an amazing company I buy clothing from that is very dear to me, and I probably purchase a pair of their harem pants once or twice a month. These aren’t just pants, they are the most comfortable pants you can wear, and they’re made at Elephant Pants. There are plenty of different styles, colors and sizes to choose from, and they are always adding new collections which I add to my closet more times than I can count. I can easily say I have one of every color, even the rombo gold harem ones.

Elephant Pants was established in 2014, and their main mission is to save elephants. When you purchase from Elephant Pants, they donate $1 per item sold to save the elephants. Their pants are made of 100% rayon, which is super light and breathable and is perfect for our hot days here in Florida.

One of their newer items is named after an elephant named Minnie. Minnie was born in Asia in 1966. She was taken from the wild and exported to North America the same year. She was purchased by the owner of a private wild animal farm in Alberta, Canada. At age 17, she was sold to Circus Vargas, and her name was changed to Minnie. After traveling for years with the circus, Minnie was sold to the Hawthorn Corporation and was then leased for use in circuses and performing exhibitions. As a result of USDA prosecutions against the Hawthorn Corporation for violations of the Animal Welfare Act for inadequate care and mistreatment of its elephants, Minnie was transferred to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

Elephants are some of the most majestic animals, and when I came across Elephant Pants, I saw a place where I can do my part in saving these amazing animals. Elephant Pants makes sure that a portion of every sale goes to an organization in the fight to save elephants in Africa. From 2010 to 2012, there were more than 100,000 elephants poached for their ivory alone; that’s one elephant every 15 minutes.

More than $145,000 has already been donated to several charitable organizations in saving elephants. One of Elephant Pants’ current partners is Tusk.org. At Tusk, they are working on five strategic initiatives: anti-poaching, community conservation, human and wildlife conflict mitigation, habitat protection, and technology and innovation.
