My mother loves this company and wanted me to spread the word www.fairindigo.com. If you are interested, please check it out. If not ... don't.

Below is an e-mail from the cofounder asking for support.


Dear Fair Indigo customer,

Since I and my friends founded Fair Indigo in 2006, customers like you in nearly 5,000 cities across the country have joined us to support fair trade and change the lives of apparel workers. Now we need your help. We are a young company and with stories about the poor economy making headlines, our bank is looking for some reassurance that customers who have supported our fair trade mission for the past two years will continue to do so – that fair trade is not a passing fad. If you are as passionate about fair trade as we are, I would like to enlist you in our cause with two specific requests. Our new catalog will arrive in your home within the next week. When it does, we would be most grateful if you:

1) Make one additional purchase at Fair Indigo from this catalog. We have a wide array of new spring clothing and jewelry including new sale items. One additional purchase from each customer would go a long way to showing the bank that fair trade continues to grow despite the economy.

2) Pass the catalog along to a friend and introduce them to Fair Indigo (or send them a catalog of their own). Many of you do this already, but if every customer could recruit one friend to Fair Indigo we would dramatically expand the fair trade movement.

Of course, if you prefer to shop online and not wait for the catalog, we are open 24 hours a day at fairindigo.com.

Thank you for being a customer and supporting fair trade,

Bill Bass
co-founder and CEO

Hmm... checked out the men's wear. Long sleeves and leather belts. Nothing for a Floridian almost-vegan, except for shorts that cost more than double what I normally pay. I don't mind paying a couple of dollars extra for ethical clothing, but that's pretty steep. I'll stick to looking for "Made in the USA" labels, since at least that way, I'll know the clothes were made in a country with labor standards and minimum wage laws, even if they aren't perfect.
