Del Forte Denim, is a line of designer organic jeans founded by Tierra Del Forte. Del Forte got her career in denim approximately a decade ago working in the junior denim department. One of the key features of her job was that she got to a circuit around various denim manufacturing plants around the world. Seeing what truly went on behind closed doors in most of the manufacturing plants, made Del Forte open her eyes as to what her beloved job was really doing to the world.

The Switch to Organic Cotton

“I used to travel to China, the environmental impact over there is so much more visible because there aren’t the same kinds of rules and regulations as there are here in America. You can just see the indigo sort of run off into the rivers surrounding all of these villages and factories”, say Del Forte in an interview. Seeing what a negative effect non organic clothing can have on the environment, inspired Del Forte to quit her day job and start an organic Jean’s company of her own. In all of her denim creations, Del Forte uses certified organic cotton. Certified organic cotton is grown without the use of chemical herbicide or pesticides. The farmers use other methods of keeping the cotton in tip top shape, methods that thankfully do not harm our environment.

Organic cotton clothing is never sprayed with any chemicals before, a while or after harvesting, making them the most eco friendly cotton available for clothing. Clothing that is made with organic cotton tends to cause less rashes than traditional non organic clothing.

Del Forte Denim is a successful fashion line because of the intricacy that is put into the design and fit of the jeans. Regardless of how environmentally friendly any piece of organic clothing may be, if it isn’t stylish and flattering there will be a definite shortage of buyers. Del Forte Denim is made to flatter a woman’s curves, rather than trying to hide them. The detail and the amount of thought that goes into Del Forte Denim organic Jeans truly make the difference between designer denim and mass produced low quality denim. Del Forte Denim is available in 10 styles. Each pair of jeans costs $192.
