Terra Thread
The effort to green one's closet often comes with a hefty price-tag. While many consumers are pivoting away from fast fashion and focusing on purchasing goods that have been made ethically and with materials that are softer on the planet, the cost presents a barrier not all are able to overcome. In today's trend-focused clothing and accessories world, one must reconcile the real cost of an inexpensive item. Enter Terra Thread: Handcrafted in a Fair Trade Certified Factory and made with GOTS Certified dyes and Fairtrade America Certified Organic Cotton, Terra Thread's mindfully-made bags and accessories are not only eco-friendly and truly ethical, but also incredibly stylish, durable, and affordable.
Sustainable, Ethical, Durable, & Affordable
Terra Thread's commitment to sustainability and ethical practices starts in the field. Using exclusively Fairtrade America Certified Organic Cotton, Terra Thread ensures that their farmers have access to a safe working environment, gender equality, a living wage (plus a Fairtrade Premium), and much more. Terra Thread's cotton is not only GMO-free but is also grown using practices that are conscious of the environment and safe for surrounding ecosystems.
Their conscientious practices don't stop there! All Terra Thread products are handcrafted in their Fair Trade Certified factory, ensuring safe, democratic work environments for their skilled knitters and sewers. Through their Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) certification, Terra Thread also guarantees that their cotton is dyed without harsh chemicals and with 88% less water and 62% less energy than generic cotton production.
For every bag or accessory sold, Terra Thread donates meals to underprivileged children, families, and seniors through Feeding America. The number of meals donated increases with the item's price. For example, purchasing a Honua Pouch translates to a donation of 10 meals, where a purchase of their Aarde Gym bag means a donation of 20 meals! The bigger the bag, the bigger the impact.
When it comes to being eco-friendly, ethically-minded, and affordably priced, Terra Thread leads the charge! From their sourcing to their production to their business practices, Terra Thread delivers high-quality products that are both accessible and socially-responsible.
