Nudie Jeans - Backbone - Fair Trade Organic Shirts





We are super excited to carry Nudie Jeans latest triumph - their "Backbone" line of cotton basic tops.

True to Nudie's reputation, Backbone is far from basic:


"In the spring of 2012 Nudie Jeans will
be the first fashion brand to deliver garments
from a textile pilot project initiated

by Fairtrade International. This means
that every step from the organic cotton
growing and harvesting, through gin-
ning, spinning, knitting, cutting and sew-
ing to the final manufactured product is
part of this pilot project which aims to
investigate how Fairtrade elements can
be added for textile workers and not only
for cotton farmers.

This project has been made possible
by a unique co-operation between Fair-
trade, Fair Wear Foundation, Armstrong
Knitting Mills and Nudie Jeans. The goal
is to increase social compliance through
third party verification not only on farm -
ing level but also along the full chain of
production. The project will be evaluated
in 2012 to see if Fairtrade standards for
textiles can be developed. We are proud
and excited to be a part of this world
news."
