Collection: Mata Traders - Organic Cotton

Mata Traders’ journey in fair trade fashion began in 2007 with a simple question: “Is this fair trade?”

Almost immediately, we were driven to produce responsibly, seeking out partnerships with fair trade organizations that could make ethical production a scalable reality.

Prioritization of worker well-being and respect for handmade artistry had us hooked from the start. Now, that passion has multiplied alongside a growing relationship with our partners and an expanding team in our home city of Chicago.
