Your standard clothing doesn't often come with a unique environmental bonus, and rarely does the company plant ten trees on your behalf simply for the purchase. Ten Tree Apparel has set out to change that. The brand believes in a social enterprise model of business that plants ten trees for every item purchased. The brand believes it can inspire a new group of consumers to tackle the environmental challenges we are now faced with as a result of deforestation. Ten Tree Apparel has currently planted over 205,000 trees!
Ten Tree Apparel produces all its clothing responsibly and locally in the United States and Mexico. It uses only 100% organic cotton and unprocessed hemp to create contemporary, relaxed looks. Its line currently includes t-shirts, hoodies, pants and accessories. Its social responsibility extends to its labor and manufacturing processes, as well as its partnerships with forestry organizations and local experts. By planting ten trees and ensuring all clothing is produced responsibly, it allows each and every customer to make a difference.
