We Flew to Lima.

We shamelessly used AI to find the best organic-cotton manufacturers on earth. Then we mailed them our prototypes, pitched ourselves, and got on a plane.

So where does the rest go?

The price covers far more than the shirt. After making it, our single biggest cost is simply reaching you — advertising to find new customers in a crowded market. It's enough that a one-shirt order barely breaks even once shipping and fees come out. We're betting you'll like it enough to come back.

Whatever's left doesn't go in anyone's pocket. It goes straight back into the brand — testing better fabrics and new colours, covering the unglamorous necessities like hosting and software, and funding larger production runs, which is how prices come down over time.

Since we started in 2023, the three of us (3 founders) haven't taken a single paycheck. Every cent has gone back into the product.

Materials & Sourcing

Our shirts are made from certified 100% Organic Cotton.

Overseen by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, our organic cotton is ethically sourced from major cotton producing states in small regenerative-focused farming communities across the Peruvian regions San Martín, Lambayeque, Gujarat, Ica and Chincha Valleys.

Farms work with non-GMO (non-bT) seeds. Their yields are about 15% of bT-seed farms (regular cotton).

The benefits of organic cotton come with the dramatic improvement in the quality of the cotton sewn. The organic cotton grows amongst a variety of other plants and flora and is harvested by hand. The natural growing environment and harvesting methods give the cotton a much softer, delicate feel. If you've ever tasted wild fruit, you've probably noticed the intensified flavour, color, and often "imperfect" shape/size. Organic cotton works in a similar way.

Once the cotton is grown and harvested according to certified organic methods, it must be ginned and spun in facilities uncontaminated by errant bT threads, then washed, dyed, cut, sewn, and, finally, sold to you - conscientious individuals mainly in Europe and North America.

Care and Cleaning


● For optimal longevity it is best to hand wash or cold wash - maximum 30° C / 86° F water temperature

● Use a normal or mild detergent

● Wash inside out

● Wash with similar colors

● Can be ironed at medium temperature
