Description:
After years in the corporate apparel industry, a small group of us started Fair Indigo because we believed there was a better way to do business. We knew it was possible to create stylish, quality clothes while paying the people of the world who make them a fair wage. Instead of driving costs down, we want to lift people up. That is our promise to those who make our clothing, and to you. | | Did You Know:
Fair trade is a rapidly growing movement dedicated to paying workers fair wages rather than minimum ones. Fair trade got its start in Europe and first appeared in the United States in the mid to late 1990s focused on paying fair wages to coffee growers in developing countries. By 2004 fair trade coffee accounted for 2% of total coffee sales in the US and was growing at an average annual rate of 75% (source: Specialty Coffee Association of America). Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts and Procter and Gamble have each announced launches of fair trade coffee – testament to fair trade coffee’s emerging mainstream consumer appeal.
