Women's T-shirts
Our Women's Organic Cotton T-shirt bio
At Angarde, we are proud to present our collection of women's cotton T-shirts, crafted with care and respect for the environment. We have chosen to produce our clothing in Portugal, specifically in the Guimaraes region, known for its textile expertise and geographical proximity, thus reducing our carbon footprint. Although we are a French brand, we are delighted to collaborate with these skilled workshops. In this spirit of transparency, we wish to address any questions you may have regarding the production, composition, and eco-responsible dimensions of our T-shirts.

Why Choose Portugal, and Specifically the Guimaraes Region, for the Production of Our Women's Cotton T-shirts?
Portugal, particularly the Guimaraes region, is renowned for its expertise in the textile industry. Indeed, this region is home to numerous workshops and factories specializing in the production of high-quality clothing. By choosing to produce our T-shirts in this region, we ensure that we benefit from Portuguese craftsmanship, which guarantees impeccable quality. We have chosen to produce our loungewear line in this region rather than in France to maintain our commitments to our customers. Production in a Portuguese workshop is less expensive than in a French workshop, even though the price is sufficiently significant to be reflected in the price of our products.
Moreover, the geographical proximity to France allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint related to the transportation of goods. Compared to production in Asia, for example, choosing Portugal enables us to reduce CO2 emissions and promote a more local and responsible economy.
Finally, respect for European social standards is an essential aspect of our production choice. By working with Portuguese partners, we ensure that workers' rights are respected and that wages are fair and decent. It is essential for us that our collaboration with our Portuguese partners certifies that the manufacture of our products is as ethical and equitable as possible.
What is the Composition of Our Women's Cotton T-shirts, and Why Did We Make This Choice?
Our women's T-shirts are made from 100% organic cotton. The organic label certifies that the product is manufactured without the use of chemicals. This choice is part of our eco-responsible approach, as organic cotton has numerous environmental and social advantages compared to conventional cotton.
Firstly, the cultivation of organic cotton does not use pesticides, insecticides, or chemical fertilizers. These substances, widely used in conventional cotton cultivation, are harmful to the environment and the health of farmers. By opting for organic cotton, we contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and the improvement of working conditions for producers.
Secondly, organic cotton consumes less water than conventional cotton. The irrigation of organic cotton fields is primarily done through natural precipitation, while conventional cultivation often requires additional water input, sometimes from already overexploited sources. Thus, by choosing organic cotton, we contribute to the preservation of water resources.
Organic cotton promotes biodiversity and soil fertility. Organic farming methods, such as crop rotation and companion planting, help maintain a balanced ecosystem and preserve soil quality over the long term.
In conclusion, our women's cotton T-shirts are the result of a comprehensive eco-responsible approach that considers the composition, production, and durability of the garments. By choosing Angarde, you are opting for a fashion that respects the environment and people, without compromising on quality and style. Join us in our commitment to more responsible fashion and discover our collection of women's cotton T-shirts, carefully crafted in Portugal, in the Guimaraes region.
What are the Eco-responsible Dimensions of Our Women's Cotton T-shirts?
We place great importance on the quality and durability of our clothing. To create an ecological and ethical collection, it is necessary to reset what we know about the fashion industry to think innovatively and ethically, certifying a timeless and fair style. By choosing high-quality raw materials and working with experienced workshops, we ensure that our T-shirts withstand the test of time and multiple washes.
A garment that lasts a long time has less impact on the environment because it does not need to be replaced as frequently. For example, we have designed the collar of our T-shirt with a resistant cotton rib that will not deform over time, and the short sleeves are wide to avoid tightness.
Our tank top also has a round neck, not too tight, and a sleeve opening for comfort in your movements. Creating an ethical collection is above all about designing a product that appeals to as many people as possible, whether male or female. This also includes neutral jersey colors that easily match, such as white, pink, green, or blue, while stepping away from classics like black and gray.
We are committed to a responsible and ethical production approach, favoring small series and limiting unsold items. We work closely with our partners to adjust our orders according to actual demand, to avoid overproduction and waste.
We chose cotton because it is lighter and more absorbent than wool for summer, and softer and more comfortable than linen. Comfort is at the heart of the collection's creation, as evidenced by the loose fit and softness of the T-shirt's jersey.
How is the Loungewear Collection Composed at Angarde?
At Angarde, we believe that eco-responsible fashion goes hand in hand with style and elegance. That's why our women's loungewear collection combines comfort and refinement, offering T-shirts and tank tops in vibrant and soft colors to satisfy all tastes and preferences. Loungewear, often associated with casual and cozy outfits, is reinvented at Angarde to become chic and trendy.
Whatever your style, our loungewear collection will seduce you with its chic and modern look, while respecting our eco-responsible values. The T-shirt is cut quite loose, with a boxy silhouette and a thick ribbed collar. Being a unisex piece, our men's T-shirt is exactly the same! For the tank top, we chose a high neckline, a ribbed material, and wide sleeve openings for comfort. We have composed the collection around vibrant and soft colors to step away from classic colors like black, with fuchsia pink, mint green, royal blue, while maintaining a touch of softness with beige and white.
If you are looking for a product more suited to cooler temperatures, we recommend our long-sleeved women's sweatshirt, with a round neck and made from organic cotton. Its soft fleece gives the impression of slipping into a cloud of softness and comfort. For more comfort, we recommend our chiné-colored socks and our cotton canvas pants. Our entire women's collection is ecological, chic, and stylish. Even in summer, we need a slightly warmer alternative for an evening on the terrace or a boat trip...
Where to Buy an Angarde T-shirt or Tank Top?
Our entire loungewear collection is available on our website on the T-shirts and women's tank tops page, priced at €39. Our round-neck T-shirt is available from XXS to XL; however, these T-shirts run large, so if you wear XXL, we recommend choosing one size down, XL. For the tank top, we recommend choosing your usual size, as the cut is more fitted than the T-shirt, which is loose. Our range of tops comes in several colors and is available for both men and women. Also, discover the rest of the loungewear range, such as our fleece pullover and our women's shirts in cotton terry. Do not hesitate to consult the reviews directly on the product pages or contact our customer service for more information. Shipping is free for purchases over €90.
Can Our T-shirt Be Paired with Another Angarde Product?
There is a special duo offer on our website and in-store (at 80 rue d’Aboukir, 75002 Paris, France) for our organic cotton T-shirt and pajama shorts, priced at €79 instead of €94.
