Plastic and petroleum. Made with GOTS certified organic linen fabric, GOTS certified organic cotton thread, organic cotton labels printed with soy-based ink, and dyed with madder root.

The model in purple is 5'2" and wearing a small. The model is walnut & roots and avocado is 5'10" and wearing a size small.

Unlike industry-standard petroleum-based dyes, these tees are dyed with organic plant dyes. The purple tees and the walnut and roots tees are dyed with GOTS certified madder root extract and the avocado tees are dyed with recycled organic avocado skins and seeds.

Madder root is one of the oldest natural dyes, known for its ability to make beautiful reds. It has been safely used for thousands of years, since at least ancient Egypt (cloth dyed with it has even been found alongside the possessions of King Tut).

Avocados make a beautiful, lasting pink dye from the skins and seeds. The main pigments are tannins, natural astringents also found in wines and tea, and anthrocyanins, which are highly antioxidant. Much safer for your skin than synthetic alternatives.

The fabric used in these tees is GOTS certified, which in additional to its strict environmental standards, also certifies that every company involved in the production of the fabric provides fair wages and safe working conditions.

This fabric was then manufactured into this tee in Los Angeles by a small company that likewise provides its workers safe working conditions and fair wages.

This shirt is made with GOTS certified organic cotton fabric, plant dyes and sewing thread. GOTS certification is the highest standard in organic. Every step - from the growing of the cotton, to final manufacture, is independently verified to be organic.

Also, plant dyes do not produce toxic run-off like conventional (and other organic dyes) and plant dyes remove carbon from the air during the plant's growth, helping reverse the cause of global climate change.

The avocado pink tee is dyed with recycled organic food waste.

Machine wash on gentle cycle using a mild, pH-neutral detergent and without fabric softeners. To keep natural linen jersey shirts looking their best, hang dry or tumble dry on low until damp and then lay flat to dry.
