Our Fair Trade Journey to Peru
High in the mountains of Peru, a community workshop creates our latest certified organic cotton knits, with yarn that is undyed or colored according the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Like the farmers who supply their yarn, the artisans are paid higher, fair trade wages enabling them to better their lives and pursue educational opportunities.
This relationship has been deeply rewarding for our design and manufacturing teams, who have been traveling to Peru since 2005. It has touched those of us who have seen their travel videos and watched the workers knit and talk, children in tow. But it's a relationship that's best understood through the sense of touch, through the purity and the quality of the garments in our stores.
