Flora organic jeans by Del Forte
Filed Under Clothing | Trackback
The Flora jeans by Del Forte are a relaxed leg jean made from 100% organic cotton. They are available in the Azul medium wash of dark Estrella wash if you are looking for a stretch denim version.
Del Forte is a USA brand using 100% organic cotton for their products that are mainly made from denim. The clothing is made in Los Angeles, a city pushing for sweatshop free labour in the fashion industry. They have also partnered with The Sustainable Cotton Project and a portion of their proceeds go to supporting The SCP.
Non-organic cotton farming is one of the most harmful agricultural industries with around 2/3 of a pound of pesticides used to make a pair of jeans and 1/3 for a t-shirt. This accounts for about 10% of all pesticide use globally. As you can imagine, most of this then ends up in the soil and streams and further down the food chain. It takes three years for a field to be considered pesticide free and suitable for organic farming.
Plus, thanks to the Del Forte Project Rejeaneration, you can send back your used jeans once you have finished with them and the fabric is used in the Rejeaneration range. You are also rewarded with a 10% voucher off your next purchase or they will donate your 10% to The SCP.
The full range and further details can be found at the Del Forte website.
