As comfy as loungewear, but with a more refined look. And you'll love the roomy front pockets! Made with organic French terry fabric that is soft and cozy and structured just enough to give a little shape and sleekness.
Encanta is our signature French Terry - as soft and cozy as you expect French terry to be, but structured just enough to be designed into silhouettes that demand a little shape and sleekness. Made with 97% organic Pima cotton, and 3% spandex, it'll wash and wear through years of enthusiastic use without pilling or shrinking and feel as cozy, soft, and comfortable as your favorite pajamas. Encanta is mainly used some of our pants & dresses.
Why does your organic cotton clothing feel otherworldly soft right out of the bag and endure beautifully for years? Because we use the top 0.05% (not a typo) of cotton available. Softest and strongest aren't often used to describe a single fiber. Except when it's organic Peruvian Pima cotton. Ours is grown on two family farms and harvested with care by hand. Simply the best cotton you'll find anywhere on the planet.
All of our dyes are certified to the most stringent safety standards such as the Oeko-tex 100 standard. They're tested for literally hundreds of dangerous substances like Azo colorants, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, and nickel. Our dyes meet or exceed the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regarding lead and the European Chemical Regulation (REACh).
You've probably heard the expression 'less is more.' At Fair Indigo, we're inspired by the idea striving for LESS. A saner wardrobe that makes use of timeless 'forever in fashion' pieces you'll go back to time and again. That's why we build in quality - from the cotton and dyes we select to the extra processes we implement to create a garment you'll love for years. Buy better, buy less, live fully.
Often when apparel brands talk about sustainability, they are talking about making clothing that respects the environment and its limited resources - something to be applauded for sure. But at Fair Indigo, it also means sustainable lives for the world's garment workers. And a sustainable business model that prices clothing fairly, not too-good-to-be-true low (a signal the people were left out of the equation) nor artificially high to promote a future 70% off sale. It's time to move beyond fast fashion. For good.
In addition to living wage jobs, we believe the key to transforming communities from poverty to prosperity is education.
The Fair Indigo Foundation funds teachers' salaries, books, building improvements, and computer labs for children who otherwise were being left behind.

"They are very comfortable and I'll keep them, but I would not buy these lounge pants again because the fabric is too thin and it's see-through when I hold it up to the light. I just don't think this fabric will last that long due to the thin fabric."
"The fit is good and the waistband is an upgrade from the original - the pockets are in a better place, too. The originals were cool and hung nicely with a perfect length - these are longer (too long) and the drape is not as relaxed - I can live with these - the main difference is that these upgraded pants are hot - even when it’s relatively cool - I’m guessing that this is the spandex effect - My ideal pants would be the original leggings material and style with the upgraded pockets and waistband - Bottom line for me is love the style but the material is burning me up because it doesn’t breathe enough."
"For reference, I'm about 123 lbs with a 29-inch waist, 38-inch hips, and a 33-inch measurement at the widest part of my belly, which is right where the waistband of these shorts sits. I ordered a size small, and the fit is great. I'm very sensory-sensitive when it comes to waistbands. The waistband is about 6 cm wide, but the elastic is only 2 cm wide and is sewn into the very top of the waistband. I would have liked for the elastic to extend through the full 6 cm so the pressure was distributed more evenly instead of cutting into my stomach. This is the same with the waistband on the the Women's 100% Organic Cotton Lounge Shorts. They are long, as others have said but I just roll them up and love them."
"Please get a petite line! 26 inch inseam & these would be perfect. But I cannot drag half a pant let around with me."
"These are the knit pants I've been searching for. Perfect length, fit and weight. I'll be ordering another pair right away. My only complaint is that it would be wonderful to have more colors to choose from besides just black and navy!"
"These are perfect lounge pants. The fabric is heavy and construction details are on point. The design of the pockets makes the pants flattering on people with hips. I just wish it came in different lengths so that us short people didn't have to spend extra money. More colors too!"
"I like the thickness of these pants. They’re not super heavy but not so thin that you see every lump and bump. They’re definitely thicker than the lounge pants, which I also own, and they don’t stretch out as much as the lounge after wearing them. They’re not really summer pants because of their thickness, but I prefer that to the thin ones. I’d actually feel comfortable wearing these out and about. They’re more like a dressier sweat pant that you can dress up a little. Like all the pants they do run long, but since they’re not very wide at the ankle, if you were wearing shoes, they’d definitely keep them from dragging. Also, very comfy around the waist. They don’t dig in. I ordered a large and I’m 33 waist and 40 hip."
"I really like the feel of the fabric; the fit is great and it's nice to have pockets that aren't bulky or sagging."
"I have an earlier version of these pants without pockets. I assumed these pants would be like the older pairs I own, but the material is a lot thinner and unappealingly slippery; there is an uncomfortable thin band of elastic inside the wide-appearing waistband, and they look more like lounge pants. The older pants do not have the uncomfortable elastic, the material has a nice thickness, and they look dressier. I wish I had ordered more pairs when they were in stock. I appreciate that FI allowed me to return these pants. I only wish they'd consider bringing back the older style and fabric. The elastic defeats the purpose of having a wide waist band for those of us who don't want a thin, tortuous band of elastic cutting into us and it's nice to have pants that be dressed up or down."
"It's perfect for me, except that I had to shorten the inseam by at least 2 inches. Not a problem for me; I have a sewing machine, and because of my loss of height, I expected that. Love the pockets, the quality and simplicity of non-toxic cotton. Fair Trade is really the bonus on top of all this. Finally someone has come along to challenge Blue Canoe's dominance in the organic cotton clothing market."
