 Tierra started her career in denim design in NYC in 1999. Visiting domestic and international garment factories opened her eyes to the destructive impact that the fashion industry has on the environment and on the people who make the clothing. In 2005, she returned to California with this new awareness and a desire to focus on eco-conscious style. To accomplish this goal, she started her line of premium organic denim, Del Forte Denim. In her own words… “I wanted to achieve my dream of creating my own premium denim line while protecting the environment and the farmers. One step that we can take to reduce the strain on the environment is to use fabric that is grown without chemical pesticides and herbicides. I am able to source beautiful, finely woven stretch denim made with 100 percent organically grown cotton. Organic is win-win for everyone. Customers love it, ecologically responsible mills get rewarded, organic farms profit and I get to feel good about the fabric I use.” The garments are sewn and finished in Los Angeles, a fashion-forward city that is a leader in anti-sweatshop legislation and enforcement, as well as being home to the most cutting-edge wash development facilities in the country. Del Forte Denim has partnered with The Sustainable Cotton Project, which has been building bridges between farmers, manufacturers and consumers to pioneer markets for certified organically grown and sustainable cotton since 1994. A portion of Del Forte Denim’s proceeds will go to support The SCP. We are committed to using green products and services whenever possible. Our office is stocked with eco-friendly supplies, all our printing is done on New Leaf paper using vegetable-based inks and we found a carbon neutral company to host delforte.com. Our goal is to create garments that are beautiful and fashionable so that they will sell better in the mainstream. The success of our businesses will therefore not rest entirely on the less-stable demand for sustainable clothing. Above all, people want to look good. Making sure women feel beautiful in my jeans is the most effective thing I can do to ensure the longevity of eco-fashion. See More Del Forte Clothing >>
