To start off 2017, I want to introduce a new ethical brand that I am so proud to wear! The People Tree represents organic, fair trade and sustainability throughout their entire collection. Their slogan "from farm to fashion" includes a range of clothing for women and men with all organic cotton! Over 80% of People Tree’s collection is made with 100% organic cotton.
When I wear People Tree, I not only feel super comfortable, but I can also feel good knowing my unique garment was made with respect for both people and the planet. I've been wearing these tees everywhere and they have definitely become a staple in my wardrobe. From running a quick errand in Panajachel, to waiting at the local chicken bus stop, to venturing all the way to the Chichi market - I've loved sporting this collection! Moreover, their cute minimalist designs are a perfect balance for our new Hiptipico collection that of course features thick embroideries and bright pompoms!
Hiptipico photographer Diana Alvarado captured the casual essence of The People Tree's designs alongside Hiptipico's new collection and I really hope this fair trade eco-friendly brand becomes a go-to for your basic cottons!
