What makes a T-shirt fair?
Dear fans of sustainable fashion
T-shirts are everywhere â but a fair trade T-shirt is more than just a piece of clothing. It tells a story: of cotton fields grown without pesticides, of seamstresses paid fairly, and of companies that are aware of their responsibility.
𧔠The journey of a fair T-shirt
-
Materials:
Fairtrade shirts are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, linen, Tencelâą, or recycled cotton, for example. These are better for the environment and often for your skin, too. -
Fair wages & working conditions:
A genuine fair fashion label ensures that the people behind the shirt work safely and are paid fairly â that is the core. -
Certifications that help:
-
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): ecological & social.
-
Fair Wear Foundation: Focus on fair working conditions.
-
B Corp: holistically sustainable companies.
-
Longevity:
A fair trade T-shirt is produced so that you can wear it for a long time â without exploitation and without compromising on style.
We have a wide range of shirts for women , men , and unisex . You can also find our T-Shirt Guide here; perhaps it'll help you a bit :)
