American Apparel leverages art, design and technology to
advance the business process, while continuing to

responsibility in the workplace. We try to do everything
possible to minimize our ecological footprint. By
creating organic products, our business minimizes its
impact on the environment, while maintaining the same
comfort and style American Apparel is known for. Our
Organic Collection is a selection of our most popular
styles made from 100% USDA Certified Organic and
pesticide-free cotton. |
