Feel & Impact
It starts with me.
I’m Andrea — an artist, a Peruvian soul who loves color, design, and self-expression. But as I learned more about how most T-shirts are made — from pesticide-heavy cotton fields to toxic dyes and unethical labor — I knew I couldn’t keep creating in a way that didn’t match my values.
I wanted to do fashion differently: kinder to the Earth, to people, and to ourselves. That’s when I discovered the magic of upcycling — giving pre-loved shirts a second life — and the beauty of Peruvian cotton: naturally soft, ethically grown, and gentle on sensitive skin.
The Problem 💔
Fashion is fun — but its impact isn’t.
-
It takes thousands of liters of water to make a single cotton tee. 💧
-
Pesticides and dyes harm farmers, workers, and nature. 🌱⚠️
-
Garment workers are often underpaid and overworked, because sewing can’t be automated. ✂️😞
-
Fast fashion fuels overconsumption: closets packed with cheap trends that end up in landfills. 🛍️👕
The Solution 🌎
Instead of more, let’s choose better.
At Authentic Andrea, we make T-shirts that:
✨ Feel soft on your skin and gentle on the Earth
✨ Are meant to be loved, worn, and reworn until the quality fades — not the feeling
✨ Reflect who you are, not just what’s trending
Because clothes shouldn’t just cover us — they should comfort us, tell our story, and leave a lighter footprint behind.
