Organic clothing runs the gamut: from stiff-and-sturdy basics to exorbitantly-priced high fashion. Our gently shaped eco-friendly tees stand apart from that crowd.
We design tees with details that add a hint of the unexpected, yet still function as your wardrobe's great reliables. Rare organic pima cotton with a hint of stretch is amazingly soft and comfortable. To top it off, these organic cotton tees are made using fair trade principles at a small woman-owned factory in a struggling neighborhood.
This cap-sleeve scoopneck is our best seller; a true wardrobe staple. Customers continue to rave (read below).
Please Note Red pepper color uses conventional pima cotton.
95% organic pima cotton 5% spandex. Machine wash.
Made fairly in Santiago de Surco, Peru.
item #00502
This small picturesque Peruvian factory stands in stark contrast to the gritty poverty of its Lima-area neighborhood called Santiago de Surco. Every time we visit, the factory's owner Diana has impressed us with her personal involvement (including liberal doses of hugs) with the 300 or so workers who earn fair wages and benefits here. For fifteen years, Diana's factory has provided meaningful and important employment to this struggling community. Diana also donates fabric and machinery to a local technical school, some of whose graduates come to work for her. Some of the other graduates of the school have set up their own small worker cooperatives that Diana uses when orders exceed capacity. That's economic development you can believe in.
