What Does Fairtrade Really Mean?

Fairtrade exists to work toward the goal of reaching social, environmental and economic sustainability. When you support Fairtrade you enable some of the most marginalized farmers and workers in the world to take control over their lives and families futures. You enable them to make simple choices that we sometimes take for granted. It’s a tiny choice for us that makes the world of difference for them. The power of your purchase and the choices you make has the REAL potential to change the world.

We’ve changed our whole apparel supply chain. We’re now using 100% organic cotton and are Fairtrade certified!

Organic Cotton - It’s Not Hippy Stuff. The chemicals used in conventional cotton damage the soil, local water ways and also cause serious illness and death. According to the World Health Organisation, up to 20,000 deaths each year are caused by pesticide poisoning in developing countries. When you make the switch to Organic Cotton you literally save real peoples lives.
