Sling and Stones
More great stuff arrives...For the eco-friendly you..
Sling & Stones denim is made of American-grown organic Supima cotton, one of the finest and rarest natural fibers on earth. The jeans are virtually pesticide-free, unlike the average cotton jeans which contain 27% harmful chemicals.
The organic Supima fiber is spun into yarn and then hand-loomed by a small family-run Japanese mill, with some fabric taking an entire day to produce a single roll. The twill for their pocket bag lining is made of organic Fair Trade cotton, grown on the farms of Peru. Their supplier programs in Peru (1) help poor farmers, who previously were forced to grow cocaine, (2) generate electricity for the nearby villages, and (3) donate proceeds back into the local communities. Fair Trade ensures workers are paid enough to care for their families, put food on the table, and send their children to school. The twill and denim are accessorized by genuine 24k gold plated hardware and zari thread, handcrafted by skilled artisans.
A percentage of Sling & Stones' profits are used to immunize villagers in Peru, fight teen suicide in Japan, and build an orphanage and youth rehabilitation center in India.
Do show your love and support!
