Essentials - Black Tee

We take the conversation beyond organic cotton, sustainable fashion, and living wages.

Building our business around the people who make your clothes and what they really need to change their own lives for the better.

Your tees may be a little imperfect whilst the women in our studio master their craft. But their comfort, style and durability will endure as much as the impact we’re so restlessly pursuing.

Unisex, super-soft and ultra comfortable. Akancha is a standard straight cut, with a classic crew neck.

Go up a size for an over-sized/boyfriend fit if that’s your thing.

Made from 160GSM mid weight GOTS-certified organic cotton jersey fabric.

Dyed using GOTS-certified low impact or natural dyes.

Finished with our signature statement neck label and woven sleeve tag. So you can give social impact-focused apparel the Thumbs Up, too.

In the pictures, Saskia is 5’7 and wears a Large Akancha for an over-sized vibe. Yayra is 6’4 and also wears a Large Akancha, but for a classic fit.

See the sizing chart below for further detailed measurements.

We hold very low quantities of stock at our UK HQ and ship from India upon reaching the quantities required for sea-freight. This means that your tee(s) may take up to six weeks to reach you.

By supporting this on-demand approach, you’re helping us to eliminate waste from dead stock, keep the women making your clothes busy, and reduce our footprint.
