This organic all-cotton top with long sleeves and a luxurious feel is the perfect addition to your sustainable wardrobe. Pair it with your favorite jeans for a casual look or dress it up for a night out. Fair Indigo clothing is made from organic Peruvian Pima Cotton, with yarns certified by GOTS and dyes certified to Oeko-tex standard. The fabric is a silky-soft cotton interlock with ingenious 'mechanical stretch' - no need for spandex! This top has a gently shaped fit and a 25.5-inch length (size Medium). It is made in a Fair Trade factory in Lima, Peru.
When fashion is done right, everyone can do well: consumers, businesses, farmers, garment workers, and the earth we all share. Fair Indigo clothing provides the means to a happy, healthy life for all involved in its production. Thanks to you, they work in safe surroundings - not sweatshops - and earn a fair wage that enables them to house, feed, and care for their families and strengthen their communities. You're helping fashion a better future with every piece you wear.
Building a sustainable wardrobe starts with essential pieces you can wear just about anywhere. Our organic Pima cotton tees and tops will quickly become your indispensable items that you can easily dress up or down. From timeless designs like our Essential Tees and Button Front Knit Shirt to a variety of pretty necklines and more detailed pieces, we have an organic shirt for almost any occasion.
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. 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, an ELS (extra long staple) variety that is significantly softer, stronger, and longer-lasting than other cottons.
Fair Indigo uses non-toxic, Oeko-tex tested safe dyes that are the gentlest commercially available and free from harmful substances. 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! There is no better place on earth to make clothing than Peru, where the quality of Pima cotton and alpaca is legendary, and the apparel making skills are unmatched – handed down through generations, literally from the time of the Incas.
Our skilled 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. Our tops and tees are gently shaped, not too loose or too tight, accentuating your shape without being clingy. And while the bag remains as strong as ever during normal use, it breaks down completely in the natural environment, leaving no plastic remnants behind - 91% degradable within 24 months.
