Tierra Mini Dress

Detail: The Tierra Mini Dress makes a statement without even trying—cut in a form-fitting A-line silhouette. A full line of gold shank buttons trace the front for an alluring finish.

This one comes in Jet Black.

Color: Jet Black

Fabric: 100% Peruvian Cotton

• Textured and structured with a slubby finish. Heavier than your average tee, with all the ease of cotton.
• Construction: Knit
• Fabric Weight: Heavyweight
• Sheerness: Not Sheer
• Stretch: Has Stretch
• Care: Wear more, wash less. Machine washable. All of our Peruvian Cotton garments have been pre-washed and dyed to reduce shrinkage. To prevent any slight shrinking, air dry or dry on a low setting. We also recommend washing these items separate from abrasive items like denim, towels, or items with hardware (zippers, buttons) as it causes unnecessary wear and tear.
• Made in: Peru

Fit: True to size.

Sustainability: When it comes to natural fibers, the longer the staple, the softer the feel. Unlike most commercial cotton, Peruvian Cotton is actually harvested entirely by hand. It is also drought tolerant, meaning it uses 50% LESS water to grow. This allows for an exceptionally long staple and makes the end product soft, durable, and resistant to pilling. Because of this durability, garments made of Peruvian Cotton will naturally have a longer lifespan. That means you’ll be keeping them in your closet (and out of a landfill).

Product's Environmental Impact:

B | Moderate
Incorporates renewable materials or low-impact practices but lacks complete traceability or full optimization in sourcing and production.

Landfill time: Cotton Portion: Biodegradable within ~3–12 months.
Modal & Rayon Portions: Biodegradable within ~4–8 months under optimal conditions, but slower in low-oxygen environments.
Synthetic Portion (Spandex/Nylon/Polyester/Acrylic): 20–200 years, depending on soil oxygen levels.

What We Love:

• Local "seed-to-garment" approach significantly reduces carbon footprint.
• Naturally soft, durable, and fully biodegradable (cotton portion).
• Fabric scraps from cutting are bundled and re-purposed into mops, rags, and mattress fillers, ensuring a circular supply chain.
• Pima requires 50% less water than conventional cotton; naturally drought tolerant.
• Synthetics (spandex, nylon) improve stretch, fit, and shape retention

What We Don't Love:

• Not organic — Pima cotton may still involve chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
• Synthetic components (spandex, nylon, modal, rayon) do not biodegrade and persist in landfills for decades.
• These materials shed microplastics and cannot be composted or easily recycled.
• Blending natural and synthetic fibers complicates end-of-life processing, making circularity more difficult.
