It Starts With Organic Pima Cotton from Peru

If you love organic food, but hadn’t given much thought to cotton, consider this: cotton occupies only 3% of the world’s farmland, but it consumes a whopping 25% of all pesticides. Setting aside the fact that we probably don’t want pesticides lurking in our clothes, cotton pesticides in particular are even stronger than many food crop pesticides and can cause grave damage to farmland and adjacent eco-systems.

Cotton is to Peru as ice is to Antarctica. Cotton garments have been found in Incan and even pre-Incan ruins. (OK, we’re not saying your Pima cotton tee will last that long, but…). Today, Peru is widely regarded as the best place on earth to grow cotton. And one of the very few places perfect for growing Pima cotton. Pima is an ELS (extra long staple) cotton. It’s significantly softer, stronger, and longer-lasting that other cottons. Garments crafted with this super premium fiber beautifully resist pilling, shrinking, and disintegrating in your laundry.

True Colors

Fair Indigo uses non-toxic, Oeko-tex tested safe dyes that are the gentlest commercially available and free from harmful substances like azo colorants, formaldehyde, and pentachlorophenol. This is a sustainable upgrade from the harsh dyes that are everyone in the clothing world today. Better for the earth, for garment workers, and for you!

Fairly Made in Peru

There is no better place on earth to make clothing. The quality of Peru’s most famous fibers – Pima cotton and alpaca – is legendary. Then there are the people of Peru – some of the happiest, friendliest, and most generous people you’ll ever meet. On top of all that goodness, their apparel making skills are unmatched – handed down through generations, literally from the time of the Incas. There are thousands of workers here able, willing, and happy to make your clothes. They just need the chance to do so.

More Goodness Is In The Details

Artisan Quality

Our stilled artisans are highly trained, well paid, and pay attention to the little things that make a garment all that better for the long haul. Our fabrics are pre-washed, pre-shrunk and will endure beautifully for years of enthusiastic use.

Thoughtfully Designed Fit

Unless otherwise noted, our tops and tees are gently shaped. Not too loose, not too tight. Accentuating your shape without being clingy.

Our Bags Are Fully Degradable. Like a Leaf.

While the bag remains as strong as ever during normal use, it breaks down completely in the natural environment, leaving no plastic remnants behind. The bags are 91% degradable within 24 months, breaking down into water, CO2, and a small amount of biomass.
