Mary McCartney Designs Organic Cotton Shirts For India Orphanage
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 11th, 2010 in Children, Environment-Eco-Green, Fashion.
Mary McCartney has designed 100% organic cotton t-shirts for the Danish children’s label Mini A Ture. The two shirts will benefit Sunway Children’s Home, an orphanage in India, which Mini A. Ture has supported since 2005.
The shirts are available at the Selfridges store in London, and can also be ordered online.
Choosing organic cotton to design the clothing aligns well with the McCartney family’s ideals to preserve the environment. It’s estimated that cotton crops use about a quarter of all agricultural insecticides applied globally each year and according to the EPA, 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton crops are either known or potential human carcinogens.
