We love this company so much. Indigenous really lights the way to sustainable, eco-friendly, artisan-sustaining fair trade, (and makes us look FANTASTIQUE in the process!). Arriving today is an exciting new collection from this fabulous company, and we can't wait to unpack it. The softest tunics, ponchos, gloves and skirts in luscious, fresh, organic cotton. Indigenous uses the natural color of the cotton whenever possible, and only uses low-impact dyes with no heavy metals for the rest. They support the local artisans in South America and the communities they live in. As they put it on their website:
"Indigenous is proud of its independently certified record of developing apparel manufacturing partnerships that elevate knitting and hand looming artisan cooperatives. Our support of these clothing cooperatives, located in some of the poorest regions of South America, are making it possible for traditions to continue while families thrive with dignity, living outside of poverty."
Indigenous is only interested in fully-sustainable practices, from their devotion to all-natural fibers and non-toxic processing, to their support of the artisans they employ in impoverished communities - paying a living wage and providing jobs that feed families, to only using organic product which feeds the soil without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
And these are only some of the many, many reasons we love Indigenous so much!!! Check out their very interesting blog for more updates on the Indigenous world, and stay tuned for today's new arrivals! xoxox DR
