The Great Fair Trade Shirt, an essential in any closet. Designed with the most perfect details and using deliciously soft Peruvian pima cotton. Open placket at neck is totally feminine, and the narrow herringbone weave is one of those things that delights unexpectedly up close. Long cuffs and princess seams for pretty shaping. Pre-washed to limit shrinkage so there is no need to size up.
Please Note In color white, some units in sizes 2-8 and 16 were made using non-pima (but still very soft) cotton with our partner in Shatoujiao, China.
100% cotton. Machine wash.
Made fairly in Chorrillos, Peru.

Nearby Lima, Peru in the seaside area of Chorrillos, we were blown away to see the comfortable conditions and smiling faces at this wonderful fair trade shirt maker. They do everything from weaving the fabric to cutting and sewing, and amidst the slums of the surrounding area, this factory stands out as an oasis of fair wages and safety. The manager told us their goal is to be the "employer of choice" for the Chorrillos area, and we would say they are well on their way, if not already there. Our business there is just underway, but we hope that as we grow we can open up job opportunities for even more of their neighbors.
