Esperanza Threads Organic Clothing
For NINE years, we have been manufacturing and selling apparel and goods made from certified organic fibers. Esperanza Threads strives to promote health and sustain ability of our earth, its resources and its creatures. In an effort to encourage conservation, we have chosen to make comfortable, simple styles for you that are timeless.
Why go organic? Everyone wants to know why organic cotton is so important to us. The reason lies in the fact that conventional cotton is the second most heavily sprayed crop in the world [coffee is the first]. Typically, on an average size T-shirt, between a quarter to a half pound of pesticides are sprayed. The issues at hand are the residue of chemicals and effects of the spraying on people and the environment. Most pesticides that are used today contain chloride compounds. When they are airborne, they become dioxins, which are carcinogens - cancer causing agents. Plus, chlorine is a known hormone-disrupter linked to breast and prostate cancer. Enjoy the sleep and lounging comfort of organic cotton fabric made into men's and women's cotton pajamas, cotton nightshirts and cotton fleece or flannel robes, plus, women's cotton nightgowns. Keep warm in cool weather with our great insulating cotton tights and cotton sweats. A major principle that guides us is the belief that all workers should be paid fairly. To this end we strive to pay fair wages and to teach and guide low-income individuals who wish to provide for their basic needs and the needs of their families. Since 2004, Esperanza Threads has collaborated with its parent non-profit organization, The Grassroots Coalition for Economic and Environmental Justice, by teaching sewing and entrepreneurial skills in its second project: "The Budding Sewing Entrepreneurs" in the inner-city of Cleveland. Our current teaching site is in the women's minimum security prison in downtown Cleveland. The prison gives us a small room and we can take four women at a time. The teachers are both workers from Esperanza Threads and volunteers. Since we started teaching at the prison in July, 2006 two women from the class have been released and hired by Esperanza Threads. Both have participated in our on-the-job training program and are now becoming very proficient in sewing on our industrial machines. Esperanza Threads has also hired women from our classes elsewhere who had no skills nor prospects for jobs other than working at fast food restaurants. Now they too are working, learning and able to care for their families.
