Romi Hoodie by Edun
Filed Under Clothing | Trackback
Edun was launched in spring 2005 by Ali Hewson and Bono. Their aim was to create a not-for-profit socially conscious clothing company operating under the premise of trade, not aid as a means to helping communities. This means they are helping to build sustainable communities rather than just continually handing out aid money etc. They help work with factories in a number of countries including India, Peru, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho, Mauritius and Madagascar.
The item pictured is their Romi Hoodie and is made from 100% organic cotton and made in Peru. These are high fashion items worn around the world with ranges for women, men and kids. Simple t-shirts through to jeans and dresses for women and jeans, shorts and collared shirts for men.
They have an online store or the clothes are available at many retail outlets around the world. Buying these clothes helps support the sustainability of local economies where they are able to learn to provide for themselves once they are given the world stage to show their products. Edun helps facilitate this.
