Description
Alta Gracia is a living wage t-shirt company in the Dominican Republic. They pay their employees around 3 times the minimum salary in order to give them a living wage! As with all t-shirt companies, they have to make cuts each month for shirts that have imperfections such as small holes in the seams.
Our artists are patching these holes with colorful embroidering string as well as adding a little embroidered flare in other spots. The shirt is complete with the word "stitched" sewn at the bottom.
