Organic, Fair Trade Clothing that is – Inexpensive?

Fair Indigo, a company I mentioned once before, is having a big sale. If you are looking for inexpensive clothing options that don’t compromise your ideals, I suggest taking a look.

Fair Indigo has clothes for children, men, and women as well as gift and personal care items. All their products are fair trade and a growing number of the clothing items use organic cotton or bamboo fibers. They utilize third party audits of the wages and working conditions of their suppliers, so you don’t have to take their word for it on the fair trade front.

I have a pair of their jeans, some tshirts, and a couple of more dressy shirts. I consistently get complements when wearing their clothing, especially this shirt so it is cute as well!

Check them out online or, if you are in Madison, at their store in the Hilldale Mall.
