Cargo Pants Rajesh Dark Olive

Discription

These sporty-cut cargo pants come in a comfortable, functional style. Our cotton ripstop is characterized by its special weave. The so-called "mathematical box structure" makes the fabric particularly robust and tear-resistant and is a sustainable alternative to conventional nylon ripstop.

Made from 100% Fairtrade organic cotton, these breathable trousers are particularly comfortable to wear and are completely vegan.

RAJESH is part of our collection. Since we want to avoid overproduction, we have initially produced this item in limited quantities. So secure your new favorite pair of pants now!

Sustainability

MELA clothing is triple certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Green Button. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, so that we can speak with a clear conscience about holistically sustainable textiles.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure that social criteria are adhered to when extracting raw materials. We place particular emphasis on fair pay for cotton farmers. With every MELA item you buy, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. MELA is also part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and is committed to living wages along the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used along the entire supply chain - from cotton cultivation to dyeing the fabrics - and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• In addition, this fashion item is also certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company level.

Production

The cargo pants were made by our producers at Purecotz Ecolifestyles in Umargam, India.

We have a long-standing relationship with Purecotz based on transparency, friendship and working on an equal footing. Purecotz is a pilot partner of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard. The aim of the standard is to establish fair trade practices, wages and working conditions along the entire textile supply chain. Purecotz is one of the first textile factories to work according to the new standard and has agreed to increase its employees' wages beyond the current minimum wage to a living wage by 2026.

We pay attention to fair working conditions and a healthy working environment, and not just in the sewing department. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all ingredients and guarantee compliance with ecological standards along the entire supply chain. All of our production steps take place in the countries from which the raw materials come. This helps to maximize local added value and shorten transport routes.
