About the project
For the love of reading.
Launched in 2019 by Emily Swiggett, Read More Books Project grew from a simple desire to encourage more reading in everyday life.
The goal was to create something easy to wear, easy to share, and quietly persuasive. The result: minimalist gear with a clear message: Read More Books.
Initially made for friends, the pieces quickly found a wider audience as more people connected with the message and wanted to help spread it.
At its core, Read More Books Project is both a reminder and a movement; encouraging more presence, deeper focus, and a renewed imagination through the wide-reaching benefits of reading.
A portion of all proceeds is donated to nonprofit organizations that support children’s literacy and improve access to books in underserved communities.
