Organic Pima Cotton Long Sleeve Crew Neck T-shirt for Women

A quintessential staple in any organic wardrobe, the classic Long Sleeve Crew Neck Tee is crafted from 95% organic Pima cotton and 5% spandex. This Fair Indigo clothing is made from organic Peruvian Pima Cotton, with yarns certified by GOTS and dyes certified to Oeko-tex standard. The hint of spandex adds comfortable stretch and helps retain the garment's shape. Featuring a gently shaped fit and a 25.5-inch length (size Medium), this piece is made in a Fair Trade factory in Lima, Peru.

When fashion is done right, everyone can thrive - 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 conscious consumers, the workers in their safe surroundings - not sweatshops - earn a fair wage that enables them to house, feed, and care for their families, as well as strengthen their communities. This helps fashion a better future with every piece worn.

Building a sustainable wardrobe starts with essential pieces that can be worn in various settings. Fair Indigo's organic Pima cotton tees and tops quickly become indispensable, easily dressed up or down. From timeless designs like the Essential Tees and Button Front Knit Shirt to a variety of pretty necklines and more detailed pieces, an organic shirt for almost any occasion.

If you love organic food but haven't given much thought to cotton, consider this: cotton occupies only 3% of the world's farmland, yet consumes a whopping 25% of all pesticides. Cotton pesticides are even stronger than many food crop pesticides and can cause grave damage to farmland and adjacent ecosystems. 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 certified safe dyes that are the gentlest commercially available and free from harmful substances. This sustainable upgrade from the harsh dyes prevalent in the clothing industry is better for the earth, garment workers, and the consumer.

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 have been handed down through generations. Fair Indigo's skilled artisans are highly trained, well paid, and pay attention to the little details that make a garment endure beautifully for years of use.

While the brand's bags remain as strong as ever during normal use, they break down completely in the natural environment, leaving no plastic remnants behind. The bags are 91% biodegraded within 24 months, breaking down into water, CO2, and a small amount of biomass.
