Fair Trade Modest Clothing: Rebirth of Chic
“Being hyper-conscious of environmental, social, and labor rights and causes is in our mission statement and is a top priority for our company. The reason we’re getting off to such a slow start in our production is because we’ve had to turn down many attractive overseas manufacturing offers, and we’ve have had to save up enough money to make our clothes here in the U.S. We believe in fair labor practices and have no way of knowing what a contractor does overseas unless we go there ourselves. The clothing we’ve previously carried has been from other manufacturers/designers, but we are finally producing our own line here in the U.S. under fair labor practices and environmental law. Once we get our collections up and running we plan to donate proceeds to certain causes and organizations, use cloth tags, recycled paper for invoices, and other little ways to contribute to making a difference in the world.” —Mona Ebrahim, rebirth of chic
