Hello Rewind is a company that will turn your old [vintage tee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-youth-band-tee) into a new laptop sleeve to protect that ever-so-precious laptop of yours. They accept your order for a new sleeve, then send you a pre-paid envelope and await the arrival of your tee.

In return you get a kick ass laptop cover from Hello Rewind that could say ‘Spring Break 2004 Cancun’ or ‘Pilots Do It High.’ You know, it’s totally up to you and your [t-shirt collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellen-patinatech-tshirt).

The proceeds go toward fighting sex trafficking in New York City. The Hello Rewind shirt/laptop sleeve can be brought to your door for $49.
