Pants to Poverty, Women's, Emerald Green : Size XS
Truly Ethical from Grain to Groin
Pants to Poverty is a new kind of underwear on a mission to rid the world of bad pants. Apart from their gorgeous styling, what's great about them is that they're made from organic and Fairtrade cotton from farmers in India who are wresting control of their livelihoods from multinational middlemen and their pesticide-driven past. And they're only available through a network of independent shops and organisations who support the mission to rid the world of bad pants!
The 7,000 tribal cotton farmers in the 'Suicide belt' of India who grow the cotton run and own their own organization - Zameen Organic - and the pants are manufactured in one of the most ethical factories in India where profits are distributed to local schools for the disabled.
97% fairtrade certified, pesticide free cotton, 3% elastane, emerald green.
Four sizes available:
-Extra Small (size 6-8), waist 63 cm, hips 92 cm.
