Anna Wintour herself promotes Goods of Conscience in June Vogue

No better way for your Guatemala-Bronx made, organic, ethical fashion company to be catapulted into the national limelight than to have Cameron Diaz wear your shorts and Anna Wintour mention your company in her letter from the editor in June’s edition of Vogue - this is exactly the good luck of Goods of Conscience.

Goods of Conscience, founded in 2005 by Father Andrew whose parish is located in the Bronx in NYC, “seeks to create and sell well-designed and well-made garments for the benefit of skilled workers in impoverished communities in both Guatemala and [the Bronx], to enhance the spirit of worker and wearer alike.”

Father Andrew developed the idea for the company after a mission trip to Guatemala. The company  employs Mayan Indian weavers in Guatemala and Bronx sewers to make the collections that “look good, feel good and do good.”

Goods of Conscience asks consumers to choose to wear “The Social Fabric.” This phrase has a double meaning because it is also the trademark for the actual fabric that is used in the clothes. It is a reflective organic cotton or indigo from Guatemala which cannot be counterfeited and ensures that all parties involved in the production of it are paid a living wage.
