In-Depth Review
Ethical Essentials for Every Body
Pact has established itself as a leader in accessible ethical fashion. Their Organic Cotton Leggings are designed to fill the gap between high-priced boutique eco-wear and low-quality fast fashion. By utilizing a Fair Trade Certified factory in India, Pact ensures that the workers who grow the cotton and sew the garments are paid a living wage and work in safe conditions.
The Power of Organic Cotton
Standard cotton is often referred to as the 'world's dirtiest crop' due to its heavy use of pesticides. Pact's use of GOTS-certified organic cotton eliminates these toxic chemicals, protecting both the soil and the skin of the consumer. These leggings are free from toxic dyes and finishes, making them ideal for individuals with skin sensitivities or those looking to reduce their chemical exposure.
- 95% GOTS Organic Cotton, 5% Elastane
- Fair Trade Certified™ Factory
- Carbon-neutral shipping options
- No toxic chemicals or heavy metals
Versatility and Comfort
These leggings are designed with a mid-weight fabric that offers coverage without being restrictive. The addition of 5% elastane provides necessary stretch for yoga or errands, while the high percentage of cotton ensures breathability that synthetic athletic leggings lack.
