A Word on Pricing

Posted on December 10, 2010 by admin

In our world of global industrial worker exploitation and environmental degradation we are rewarded with shockingly cheap clothing on a massive scale. While this feels nice on our pocketbooks, we all know somewhere in our hearts that this is not a true price; that the true cost is not reflected in that sticker. I have ignored that tugging at my heart many times and made that super cheap purchase. So I understand how, in light of this, some people may feel that the jeans I am offering seem expensive. I feel you. But these jeans reflect the value of the natural materials that are sustainably farmed and processed so that nearby farming families’ drinking water is not contaminated with pesticides and indigo dye. These jeans reflect the craftsmanship of USA garment workers who take the time to craft clothing with their bare hands…not on a digitized industrial machine. These jeans reflect the fact that a small- TINY- business (and a stay at home mama) is trying to carve out a place in this world- and is competing with Walmart. We all vote with our dollars and when you purchase a pair of Green Gamboni jeans you can rest assured that you are supporting real living wages and environmental stewardship.

    good for you! i love your site, idea and blog

    i have been in this business for a million years (well, ok, 17) and i rarely see someone willing to take the huge effort to bring a new and meaningful product to market, let alone make it here in the usa

    i wish you tremendous success

    Family and friends who are not always on the same wavelength as I am often ask me how I can afford to spend the extra money on organic…whether it’s food, clothes, or whatever. I tell them that when they have a little extra cash, they find their own way to spend it…on a vacation, or going out to dinner, etc. This is the way I choose to spend the little bit of extra money I have left over each month. Instead of a shopping spree to buy a bunch of junk, I buy one nice, organic item. Or instead of buying a gallon of cheap inorganic milk and a load of other junk food, I just buy the gallon of organic. It’s worth it! Your jeans look amazing, I learned about them from Autumn Beck’s blog, and I will buy a pair when I have a little extra money….tax return anyone??? :)

    I love your thoughts about the hidden costs of cheap clothes in the U.S. I love that your jeans are organic, and even more fabulous, made in the US. I’ll be buying a pair just as soon as I can! :)

    Thank you both. So much. Katie, I couldn’t agree more. We have to adjust our priorities to quality over quantity. It makes it possible to support small and/or local business! It has always been a value of mine to support small businesses when I can. It makes our hearts AND economy healthy! Go figure! :) Laura, thank you for your compliments! I look forward to your order and to keeping in touch! As the company ripens I’d love to create a forum community to discuss all this and more!

    I love how the gamboni jeans have various sizes. They are super cute! Yes they may be pricey BUT they will pay for themselves in the long run. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. Praying I can win a pair of these… God Bless
