Fashion trends come and go, but for Scott Leonard and Matt Reynolds, the
founder's of Indigenous, the vision to style the world in organic fair
trade fashion was founded over 13 years ago. Back in 1993 on a trip to
South America, Scott encountered the priceless beauty of the local
artisans. The richness of the culture and amazing knitting techniques
prompted him to bring back more than a souvenir to his Northern
California home. He returned with a vision to pioneer a new business
model that would invite each of us to wear our commitment to the people
and environment.
Together, Scotty and Matt have helped form a scalable artisan network through the Indigenous
clothing line that reflects a commitment to sustainability and socially
responsible actions. This global collaboration weaves together the
employees of Indigenous, the artisans from around the world, their customers.
Indigenous
is committed to supporting and preserving fair trade wages and artisan
cooperatives, investing in natural and organic fibers and
environmentally-friendly dyes, and spreading the beauty of handmade
eco-fashion.
